There has been a new twist in the murder case of Akhlaq, who was killed in the famous 2015 mob lynching of Dadri in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. On Monday, Mohammad Akhlaq’s wife Ikraman filed a petition against the state government in Allahabad High Court. In which the government’s decision to withdraw the case has been challenged. The double bench of the court can hear this case on January 5, 2026.
Ikraman has made 21 people including the state government as defendants in his petition. Before this, she had also filed a petition in the trial court against the decision of the state government. All the accused in this case are out on bail. It has been demanded that withdrawing the case in a case like murder is wrong and against justice.
What was the whole matter?
Let us tell you here that on September 28, 2015, 52-year-old Mohammad Akhlaq was beaten to death by a mob in Bisahada village of Greater Noida on suspicion of keeping beef in the fridge of his house. His son Danish was also seriously injured in this incident. This incident created an uproar in the entire country. Also, a new debate had started regarding incidents like mob lynching.
The government had applied to withdraw the case
The stir in this case started when the UP government recently filed an application in the trial court under Section 321 CrPC to withdraw the case against all the 19 accused. The government claimed that this would restore social harmony. Whereas the victim’s family objected to this.
Made 21 defendants including the state government
Akhlaq’s wife Ikraman has made 21 people including the state government as defendants in her petition, which includes all the accused. The petition demands that the government order be cancelled. According to the victim’s family, withdrawing the case in a serious case like murder is a misuse of the law. There is no better example for the future. Apart from this, the family has also registered its objection in the trial court. 18 accused are out on bail in this case, including three minors.
The family, which had hoped for justice after 10 years, is now struggling to keep the case in court. Now what decision will the High Court take in this matter or will it be known only on January 5. But suddenly this famous issue has come into the headlines again.
