Dadri: Villages surrounding Bishada in Dadri have been put on high alert as the residents of these areas have begun organising panchayats demanding the registration of a case against the family of 50-year-old Mohammad Akhlaq for alleged cow slaughter and beef consumption.
The villages under Dadri tehsil put on alert include Ucha Hamirpur, Samana, Sapnawat, Patadi, Rasoolpur and Chithera. Amidst threats of a mahapanchayat, Jaan Mohammad, the brother of Mohammad Akhlaq who was lynched nine months ago over beef-eating rumours, appealed for peace.
“With folded hands I appeal for calm. Don’t bury your brotherhood. Even if one drop of blood is shed, it will give me more pain than my brother’s murder,” he said.
