Following the 2015 lynching of Mohammad Akhlaq, the district court of Gautam Budha Nagar in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday found BJP politician Sangeet Som guilty of disobeying a government order. The court fined the defendant Rs 800.
According to reports, the former Sardhana MLA made a provocative statement in Bisahda, where section 144 (which prohibits public gatherings) was put into effect as a result of Akhlaq’s killing.
On September 28, 2015, a 200-person mob killed 51-year-old Mohammed Akhlaq after dragging him from his home and accusing him of consuming beef. This led to racial unrest in the Bisada village of Uttar Pradesh.
