A new survey reveals the biases among India’s police forces.

Every third Indian police person thinks it is natural “to a large extent” or “somewhat” – for a mob to punish culprits when there is a case of cow slaughter, a new survey has revealed. These data correlate with the findings of a FactChecker.in database that tracks such violence: police had charged victims in 28% of 133 cow-related attacks since 2012.

The survey, conducted by Common Cause and Lokniti–Centre for the Study Developing Societies, a nonprofit and a think tank, respectively, based in New Delhi, was part of the Status of Policing in India Report 2019, released on August 28. Researchers interviewed 11,834 police personnel across 105 locations in 21 states between February and April. The survey covered the personnel’s opinions over the adequacy of police infrastructure and their perception over several types of crimes and different sections of the society.

The question posed in the survey was, “In your opinion, to what extent is it natural for the mob to punish the culprits on their own when there is a case of cow slaughter?”

The choices given to the respondents were: to a large extent, somewhat, rarely and not at all.

Across 21 states, 15% respondents said they think mob violence over cow slaughter is natural to a large extent, while 20% chose somewhat natural, 16% chose rarely and 46% chose not at all.
