Dadri Lynching: Meat in Ikhlaq's house was mutton not beef

October 09, 2015 10:11

Mohammad Ikhlaq was lynched by a mob here last week for allegedly keeping beef in his house. However, it has now turned out that the meat was mutton, not beef.

A forensic test has established that it was mutton that had been stored in Ikhlaq's house. And the test results lend support to Ikhlaq family's claim that they had not kept beef in their house.

As per a report in the Times of India, the meat sample was taken from Ikhlaq's house in Bisada on September 28 and sent to a veterinary doctor for preliminary testing.

While those tests proved that the meat was mutton, the police still sent the sample to a lab in Mathura to double check on facts. The lab report also established that the sample was of mutton and not beef.
