Sharing a media report about the alleged delay by the policemen in taking the victim, Akbar Khan aka Rakbar Khan, to the hospital, the Congress president tweeted, “Policemen in Alwar took 3 hrs to get a dying Rakbar Khan, the victim of a lynch mob, to a hospital just 6 KM away. Why? They took a tea-break enroute. This is Modi’s brutal “New India” where humanity is replaced with hatred and people are crushed and left to die.”
