October 13, 2015 14:53

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has alleged that the mob killing of a Muslim man in Dadri two weeks ago over beef rumours is "part of a pre-meditated strategy of the BJP".

In his first interview since Mohammad Akhlaq of Bisada village in Uttar Pradesh was lynched by a mob, Akhilesh Yadav told NDTV that he did not believe the attack was a spontaneous act.

He cited a preliminary investigation by his government to say, "Facts indicate that Dadri was part of a pre-meditated strategy of the BJP and those affiliated to the party."
