Dadri Lynching

Union minister of state for home Nityananda Rai said the Centre, following a Supreme Court directive, has issued two advisories to state governments to check incidents of lynching

The bench observed that Jaan Mohammed could have been involved in the alleged act alongside his deceased brother

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

Shiv Sena student wing has threatened mass self-immolation by its workers if the case against the accused was not withdrawn by July 15

Akhlaq was lynched nine months ago on suspicion that his family stored and ate beef at their house

The petitioner has urged the court to direct the police to register an FIR against Akhlaq's family members

The demand was sparked after a forensic report stated that the meat found at the scene of the attack was that of cow
