Gamit had purchased the calves in the Dang district. As they were nearing the village, a group of people led by a woman stopped their vehicle and asked them to explain why they had been carrying the calves. Sensing trouble, Dashrat escaped from the spot. Hours later, he went back and found Anil severely injured.<\/p>\n<p>It was later revealed that Anil was attacked by the group with wooden sticks and sustained multiple fractures on his right leg. The group that stopped Anil and Dashrat called themselves \u2018gau rakshaks\u2019 (cow vigilantes). On August 9, Songadh police arrested ten people for rioting and assault. Among them was Neha Patel.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Neha Patel, a rather unusual figure in the predominantly male bastion of cow vigilantism, is the founder of a registered organisation called \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/praninfoundation.wordpress.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pranin Foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2019.

In the video, speaking in a calm and empathetic manner, she presents her version of the &#8216;truth&#8217; behind her arrest. Patel states how the &#8216;desh-virodhi&#8217; media (media outlets that are against the nation) tarnished their image and how the fact that Neha&#8217;s group had first filed an FIR against Anil Gamit was overlooked. Later, her group was booked under the atrocity act, she complains. She goes on to explain that the case had nothing to do with the Atrocity Act and was rather a &#8216;gau rakshak&#8217; vs &#8216;gau taskar&#8217; situation (cow protectors vs cow smugglers). However, she doesn&#8217;t address or deny the allegation that Gamit was found in a severely injured state after allegedly being beaten up.<\/p>\n<p>[vimeo https:\/\/vimeo.com\/900053174]<\/p>\n<h4>Cow Vigilantism<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2FZqUV8_dkI\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">interview<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> with YouTuber Pushpendra Kulshrestha, Neha Patel makes the point that her educational qualifications helped her establish herself in the field of cow vigilantism.

Disappointed with lack of response from NGOs, she began personally transporting ailing animals to veterinarians. Learning through observation, she acquired veterinary skills. Consequently, whenever she encountered an injured animal, she would treat it on the spot, even administering injections and starting IVs before delivering them to shelters. Her name quickly spread, and people began actively seeking her contact. This marked the inception of her &#8216;Jeevdaya&#8217; (animal care) initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/2FZqUV8_dkI?feature=shared&amp;t=515\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her journey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> into cow vigilantism commenced one night during her travel to Ahmedabad when she intercepted a buffalo-carrying truck, having previously read about &#8216;gau raksha&#8217; incidents involving such vehicles in newspapers. Her name quickly gained recognition, with people, including some from the Muslim community, sharing information about slaughterhouses. She proudly states how she <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/2FZqUV8_dkI?feature=shared&amp;t=1016\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">financially assisted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> people to buy cows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/2FZqUV8_dkI?feature=shared&amp;t=1945\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube interview<\/a>, Neha mentions that she initially operated locally, using Facebook to broadcast her activities. Gradually, she attracted attention from various cities in Gujarat and expanded her network to Godhra, Surat, Panchmahal, Valsad, and Navsari. When we went through her YouTube channel before it was taken down, we found that her team had been active in at least 16 cities in Gujarat. And in partnership with Agniveer, the Pranin Foundation extended its network of vigilantism to other states such as Maharashtra and Telangana. Teams in those states adopted similar tactics to Neha and her Gujarat-based team, and these incidents were featured on Neha&#8217;s YouTube channel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Involvement with the VHP<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>On December 25, 2023, Patel was invited as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/koolneha33\/posts\/pfbid0i637TZWYV3wyFDzB6FHGg6UZewT1qfGsBHBRHTSNPUDVznHLK65Y4Mzugvt4Kidrl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chief guest<\/a> to an event organised by the Vishva Hindu Parishad in Nangaon Peth village in Amravati, Maharashtra. Patel shared pictures from the event on her Facebook page. According to the post, in her speech, Patel raised her concerns about cow slaughter and affirmed that they would continue to take strong stand against it, as they had done in the past. She also emphasized the fact that the Hindu society should actively contribute to the cause of cow protection as saving &#8216;Gau-Mata&#8217; was the ultimate duty of the Hindus.

Shortly after (at 01:50 in the above video), Neha addressed the audience, delivering a brief speech in Hindi: &#8220;As I see my Hindu brothers and sisters gathered in such large numbers at this event, I am confident that those who dream of perpetrating &#8216;Love Jihad&#8217;, forced religious conversions, and cow slaughter can comprehend what will happen if we all unite and take to the streets.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We reached out to Neha Patel for an interview back in September. Initially, she was enthusiastic about it and asked us to share the questionnaire via email, but we have not received any response from her yet. We came across a Facebook post from her, made five days after our email was sent to her wherein she attempted to justify the three FIRs that have been filed against her till date. We reached out to her again in December, but we still have not received a response. This story will be updated as and when she chooses to respond to us.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/koolneha33\/posts\/pfbid0wuoKQL94ZB8zEMGYZLQNfBsYiF1nJpiFmWYiyKFukQUakC5izy8pUenNydZv58QUl\" data-width=\"500\" data-show-text=\"true\">\n<blockquote class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/koolneha33\/posts\/10159189937092133\"><p>\u0939\u093f\u0928\u094d\u0926\u0942 \u0938\u092e\u093e\u091c \u0915\u093e \u0915\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0938\u094b\u091a\u0928\u093e \u0939\u0948 \u092e\u0941\u091d \u092a\u0930 3 \u092b\u0930\u093f\u092f\u093e\u0926 \u0915\u0947 \u092a\u0940\u091b\u0947?<br \/>\n\u092e\u0947\u0930\u093e \u091c\u0940\u0935\u0928 \u0916\u0941\u0932\u0940 \u0915\u093f\u0924\u093e\u092c \u0939\u0948, \u0905\u092c \u0924\u094b\u0939 \u0935\u093e\u092e\u092a\u0902\u0925\u0940, \u091c\u093f\u0939\u093e\u0926\u0940 \u092d\u0940 \u092e\u0947\u0930\u0947 \u092c\u093e\u0930\u0947 \u092e\u0947&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/koolneha33\">Neha Patel<\/a> on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/koolneha33\/posts\/10159189937092133\">Friday, 29 September 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 7, Anil Gamit, a resident of Mangaldev village in Gujarat&#8217;s Tapi district, was returning to his village with nine buffalo calves in a pick-up truck with another person named Dashrat Nayak.
