The chargesheet names Vishal Rana, son of a local BJP leader, and cousin Shivam as the main conspirators who led the mob to Akhlaq’s house and assaulted the family.
“The chargesheet in this case was filed Wednesday”.
“Charge sheet has been filed against 15 persons”. However, police sources said it quotes both Akhlaque’s family and the accused to say that suspicion of cow slaughter was the motive for the lynching.
“While Saista had given a number of particulars, it took greater than two months to document Danish’s testimony since his situation was essential”. However there was no mention of beef in the charge sheet just as there was no mention of it when the FIR was filed in October. The police do not, however, mention any political motive.
Two more persons, Puneet and Bhim, were arrested on Wednesday while two others, identified by Danish continue to be absconding indicating a chance of a supplementary chargesheet in the case. Police sources stated that in the chargesheet, Danish and his sister Saista have been prime witnesses. The chargesheet named 15 people as accused, one of whom is a juvenile, reported Times Now.
