15 charged in India over mob beef killing
In September, a mob attacked Mohammad Akhlaq, a 50-year-old blacksmith, for allegedly eating and storing beef at his home. While Akhlaq succumbed to his injuries, his son Danish survived the attack after receiving medical treatment for more than two months.

Sources said that 15 people including one juvenile have been named in the charge sheet. “They were saying that if you tell the police, we will kill you too”, Saista said in her statement before the magistrate, which was appended to the chargesheet filed by the police on Wednesday, the daily reported.
The police have also cited the statement of Shaista, Mohammad Akhlaq’s daughter and Danish’s sister. Police had sent a sample of the meat from Akhlaq’s house to a vet for preliminary testing and the report suggested that it was mutton.
Police sources additionally stated that the chargesheet mentions the record of proof recovered from the scene of the crime and from the homes of a few of the accused together with sticks, samples of blood and a stitching machine, which was thrown on Danish’s head.
After entering the house, they attacked my father and brother.
The move can prove it hard for the victim’s counsel or prosecution to establish murder charges (302) against any specific person or persons as the chargesheet has not invoked conspiracy charges giving more precedence to charges of rioting. The mob which entered our house took out meat from our refrigerator. “The accused had found pieces of meat stored in fridge and they had claimed it to be that of beef”, Singh said. An additional chergesheet, naming four people, will be filed soon.
Seven persons have been arrested in the past two days for their alleged involvement in the killing, an incident which had sparked nationwide outrage amidst allegations of rising intolerance. One of the 19 accused is Rana’s son, Vishal.
