On a cold morning in January, a car smashed into a van in Tauru, a small town in the northern Indian state of Haryana. Inside the car were three young Muslim men: Waris, Nafiz and Shaukeen. Waris is now dead, Nafiz is in jail, while Shaukeen is yet to come to terms with the horrors of the night. Shaukeen alleges that his friend was beaten to death by a group of Hindu men after they spotted a cow trussed up in the back of the car.
