An angry mob of around 100 people brutally attacked a head of the family for allegedly eating beef, Bisara, Delhi, India.
A Muslim father was beaten to death with bricks by a mob following rumours that his family was eating cand storing cow’s meat. The incident took place in a small village on the outskirts of Delhi after a slaughtered calf was found near a transformer.
Relatives mourn the death of Mohammad Akhlaq in the village
As the names of the perpetrators were not given, locals became suspicious of two Muslim families living in the area. After not finding one family at home they headed to Mohammad Ikhlaq’s home, dragged him and his son Danish out to beat them in public.
While some of them were wrecking the house, others beat Ikhlaq, his son, daughter, elderly mother and wife with sticks and bricks. When the police arrived the 52-year-old was already dead, his son is now in critical condition in hospital.
Eight people have been arrested and two are on the run, police are now searching for those who spread the rumour leading to the blood-curdling attack and murder. The meat taken by police from the family’s fridge for forensic examination appeared to be mutton.
There is tight security outside Mr Akhlaq’s house
In the religion of Hinduism a cow is thought to be a sacred animal, they honor all creatures. Cow slaughtering is only legal in two Indian states, while killing a cow and eating its meat in other states is considered to be a sin and a breach of law.
