Gujarat: Cow slaughter becomes a life term offence after amendment of the law
The amendment of the bill raised the fine and term of life imprisonment, if anyone found to have possession of beef.
Contrary to earlier fine of 50000 thousand rupees, now it ranges between 1-5 lakhs while the life imprisonment ranges between 7-10 years which was 3-7 years previously.
The amendment of the law just came after Chief Minister of Gujarat, Vijay Rupani hinted at such a development could take place, earlier this month.
BJP government brought these amendments as the state is heading towards its assembly election in 2017.
