A man was lynched and beaten up by a mob in Gurugram on 1 August, the day of Eid, after being accused of transporting "beef". So far, just one person from the mob has been arrested.

The investigation around this too – like it has been in so many other cases of meat-related lynching – will likely focus on whether the meat was indeed beef or not.
