Akhlaq was lynched shortly after the loudspeaker in the village temple was used to announce that the 50-year old Muslim man had slaughtered a calf.

After the announcement from the temple, fellow villagers broke down the door to his house and searched it for beef. Akhlaq was killed and his family members injured.

The Uttar Pradesh Police had arrested 18 people in connection with the case, out of which seven were said to be the relatives of Sanjay Rana.
