No arrests have been made, but police said they registered a murder case over the death of 55-year-old Pehlu Khan, whose truck carrying cattle was attacked by hundreds of vigilantes on Sunday while travelling in Alwar in the western state of Rajasthan.
At least six more people were wounded in the attack.
The men had bought the dairy cows at a cattle fair and were taking them home to neighbouring Haryana state when the mob stopped the trucks.
Video of the incident has been widely circulated online. It shows the men being beaten with sticks and iron rods.
Police also said they were preparing a case against the survivors of the attack, whom they suspect of trying to smuggle the cattle across state borders.
"They were carrying eight bovines in the mini truck without permission. We will file a case against the survivors after concluding our investigations," police officer Ranesh Chand Sinsinwar, who is heading the investigation, told AFP news agency.
Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria told reporters that both sides were to blame for the incident.
"It is illegal to transport cows, but people ignore it and cow protectors are trying to stop such people from trafficking them," he said.
At least 10 Muslim men have been killed in similar incidents across the country by Hindu mobs on suspicion of eating beef or smuggling cows in the last two years.
