Shivam and Vishal, the main accused in the Dadri lynching, have been arrested.

Around 200 persons attacked the residence of Iqlakh on Monday night after rumours spread in the village that a cow has been slaughtered and the beef was stored in his house, police said.

The mob allegedly beat Iqlakh to death while his 22-year-old son Danish was critically injured in the attack and is undergoing treatment at a hospital.

Iqlakh's family had alleged that Vishal forced the priest to announce that cow was slaughtered and stored in their house.

Interestingly, speaking to CNN-IBN, the priest on Thursday said that two youths had forced him to make the announcement that cow was slaughtered and stored in the house of the victim.

Six persons have already been arrested in connection with the lynching of the man over suspected beef consumption.
