Why was Mohammed Akhlaq Killed?
The Inquiry
Mohammed Akhlaqβs murder shocked India. A mob broke into his house last month and beat him to death. They believed a rumour that Mr Akhlaq, a Muslim, had broken a Hindu taboo by slaughtering a cow. We find out how the cow became such a political animal and look at whether Hindu nationalists are feeling bolder in todayβs India.
