A migrant worker from West Bengal, Sabir Malik, fell victim to a deadly assault over baseless suspicions of beef consumption in Haryana. Recent lab tests have cleared the allegations, confirming the meat in question was not beef.

The incident occurred in Charkhi Dadri's Hansawas Khurd village, where Malik, a rag picker, was lured under false pretenses and brutally beaten. The altercation intensified when attempts to aid Malik led to further violence from his attackers.

Authorities have arrested ten individuals connected to this crime. The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Bharat Bhushan, stated that legal proceedings under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita are underway, with the lab report set to be presented in court soon.
