To,

SHO, Police station,

Prashant Vihar, Rohini, Delhi.

Subject: Zero FIR against all butchers Mohammad Akhlaq along with his family members

of Village Bisara of District Gautam Buddh Nagar in UP.

Greetings,

It is humbly submitted that:

A 50-year-old man, Mohammad Akhlaq, was beaten to death and his 22-year-old son

severely injured on Monday night in UP’s Dadri, allegedly by residents of Bisara village,

after rumours spread in the area about the family storing and consuming beef, police said.

Many people were arrested in connection with the attack, around 45 km from Delhi,

sparking protests that led to police firing, damage to vehicles and injuries to a 20-year-oldwelder who works for the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) facility in the

area.

Police said they have sent samples of meat taken from Akhlaq’s home “to the forensics

department for examination”. Akhlaq’s daughter, Sajida, said the family had “mutton in

the fridge” and not beef .

The attack on Akhlaq and his family took place around 10 pm in Bisara after an

announcement about the family consuming beef was allegedly made at a local temple,

police said. While Akhlaq, a farm worker, succumbed to injuries suffered during the

attack, his son Danish was admitted to a government hospital where doctors described his

condition as “critical”. Gautam Budh Nagar District Magistrate N P Singh said police have

been deployed in the area and “as of now, the situation is under control”. “Some localsspread rumours that Akhlaq had cow meat at his home and engaged in cow-slaughtering.

Following the rumours, tension ignited and some locals attacked his home in Bisara

village,” Singh said. While a shopkeeper near the temple and Bisara village sarpanch

Sanjeev Kumar Rana claimed that those arrested included the temple priest and an aide,

police said the priest — identified only as “babaji” — was released after questioning.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Gautam Buddh Nagar, Kiran S, said “preliminary

investigations revealed that an announcement was made from the temple” about the family

consuming beef. “The priest was picked for questioning as we need to investigate the

involvement of others in the case,” said Kiran. According to Sajida, Akhlaq’s 18-year-old

daughter who was in the house when the attack took place, “a group of more than 100

people from the village” reached the house that night. “They accused us of keeping cowmeat, broke down our doors and started beating my father and brother. My father was

dragged outside the house and beaten with bricks. We came to know later that an

announcement had been made from the temple about us eating beef,” said Sajida.

According to the SSP, a case of rioting and murder has been registered against 10 people.

“Six of them have been arrested — Rupendra, Vivek, Sri Om, Sandeep, Saurav and

Gaurav — all residents of Bisara village,” the police officer said. “We have been told that a

group of people entered the temple and used a microphone to make the announcement.



However, investigations are still underway. We do not know if any of the accused are

associated with the temple. We have collected meat samples from Akhlaq’s house and sent

it to the forensics department for examination,” said Kiran. However, as news of the

arrests spread, residents from Bisara and neighbouring villages held demonstrations and

clashed with police near the NTPC facility, damaging vehicles, including a police van, and

burning a motorcycle. When police resorting to firing, Rahul Yadav, who works as awelder at NTPC, received a bullet injury near his abdomen. Yadav’s brother Narendra

said they “got caught in the clash” and alleged that his brother was injured by a bullet

fired by a policeman. “Around 500 protesters from nearby villages had assembled there. A

policeman fired a shot in the air but it hit Rahul on the side of his abdomen,” he said.

Senior officers, however, contested Narendra’s version that his brother was hit by a police

bullet. “Rahul Yadav received a bullet injury on his lower hip. We are yet to ascertain the

type of the bullet and the weapon from which it was fired,” SSP Kiran said.

Whereas all alleged persons were arrested by the Police but FIR against Mohammad

Akhlaq and family members, for cow slaughtering was not yet lodged by the Police, hence

United Nation affiliated “International Organisation for Animal Protection” OIPA in India

along with Animal Welfare Party demands, immediate Zero FIR against all responsiblepersons for cow slaughtering, for the violation of the different sections of the laws of the

land read with 295-A of the IPC.
