The Madhya Pradesh BJP has expelled Anwar Mev, former vice-president of its minority cell in Tonkkhurd Mandal in Dewas district, days after he was charged with slaughtering a cow at his house and arrested.
“We have expelled Mev from the party,” State BJP spokesman Hitesh Bajpai said.
Mr. Mev and nine others are facing a criminal case under the Madhya Pradesh Cow Slaughter Ban Act.
Tension had prevailed in Tonkkhurd Nagar town after carcass of a cow was recovered from Mr. Mev’s house on January 27.
