timmy Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 NEW DELHI: In September last year, Mohammad Akhlaq was dragged out of his home and killed by a mob of at least 100 in Uttar Pradesh's Dadri over rumours that he had stored beef.The police then quoted a local doctor as saying that the meat found in Akhlaq's freezer was mutton.In a major twist to the case eight months on, a forensic report has confirmed that the meat was beef - that of "a cow or its progeny"."Initially we did say mutton but subsequently we were told by the lab that it was beef," Uttar Pradesh police chief Javed Ahmed told NDTV on Tuesday.Beef eating is not a crime in Uttar Pradesh, only cow slaughter is. The police say they tested the meat only to establish the motive for Akhlaq's killing.A local BJP leader's son was among 18 arrested for murder.The forensic report is tailor-made for more political sparring at a time parties are prepping for high voltage elections in Uttar Pradesh next year.Madhukar Jaitely, a lawmaker of the state's ruling Samajwadi Party said: "Our stand remains the same. The government's job is to crack down on law and order violations and that is what we are doing. Someone was lynched and we will ensure that justice is one to the person."Last year, the Dadri incident and other attacks linked to cow-killing and beef-eating were held up by opposition parties and activists as examples of rising intolerance and bullying by groups linked to the BJP.The meat in Akhlaq's home was initially examined by a veterinary doctor in Dadri, whose analysis that it was mutton reinforced conspiracy theories. The Samajwadi Party accused the BJP and its affiliates of trying to polarize the region by spreading false rumours.The meat samples were sent for a final assessment to a government lab in Mathura, which has now concluded that it was beef.The report has been rejected by Akhlaq's family, which has always denied eating beef on the day of the attack."Dadri police said mutton, now you are saying it is beef. This is all politics," said Akhlaq's brother Jaan Mohammad. http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/meat-at-the-centre-of-dadri-lynching-case-is-beef-finds-new-forensic-test-1413998?pfrom=home-lateststories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
