In 2015, Dadri resident Mohammed Akhlaq was lynched by a mob led by Hindu outfits barged into his house and beat him up along with his family members on suspicion of him possessing beef in the house.

On September 28, 2015, 51-year-old Mohammed Akhlaq was dragged from his house and killed by a 200-strong mob on suspicion of eating beef, triggering communal tension in the Uttar Pradesh's Bisada village.

Recently, several of the accused in the lynching incident were seen sitting in the front row of Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath's election rally in Gautam Buddh Nagar.

With the accused in attendance, Yogi Adityanath urged voters to not forget the Bisada incident when they vote in the Lok Sabha elections.

The comment sparked a hue and cry with opposition parties crying foul.
