The Forensic Investigation Lab at Mathura in its report says, the meat found at the home of Mohammed Akhlaq is a 'beef'.

Fifty-two-year-old Akhlaq and his son Danish were attacked by a mob at Bisada village in Dadri in September 2015 on hearing that they had slaughtered a cow.

The report states, "On the basis of chemical analysis the sample belongs to cow or its progeny."

The incident had sparked a nationwide debate over intolerance, with the opposition parties launching a full-fledged attack on the ruling government over the alleged growing intolerance in the country.

According to reports, the incident left the people shocked after a local veterinarian said that the flesh appears like mutton.
 
Following this, the police sent a sample of the meat from Akhlaq's home to a Mathura laboratory for forensic tests to check if it was beef.
