The local administration in Gautam Buddha Nagar has imposed  Section 144 in the Bisahada village in Dadri on June 6. The village residents warned of holding a ‘Mahapanchayat’ following the forensic report that revealed that the meat sample found in Mohammed Akhlaq’s house was beef.

The local political leaders and villagers demanding a case of cow slaughter against the family. The  villagers met the Gautam Budh Nagar SSP Dharmendra Yadav to press their demand for registration of an FIR against Akhlaq's family.

“It’s a sensitive matter. The Circle Officer, Dadri will head a probe into the charges,” said the SSP.

"A complaint was filed with police after the forensic report said the meat in the freezer at Akhlaq's house was beef. No FIR has been filed yet in this regard," Sanjay Rana, father of Vishal Rana, an accused in the 2015 lynching case said.

"The villagers have decided to hold a Mahapanchayat tomorrow as police have failed to register an FIR based on our complaint. Residents of Satha Chaurasi village will also attend it," he claimed.

On the other hand, earlier this week, the Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav had questioned the authenticity of the forensic report and said "there was nothing objectionable in his house. Every eye is on this matter. Everyone wants that the victim's family should get justice as murder had taken place."
