Congress attacked the government after a forensic report said that the meat at Dadri lynching victim Mohammad Akhlaq's house was beef. "Conscious polarisation, raising multiple issues has been happening in the nation; will cause irreparable damage to India. What is this government doing to the economy, to the fabric of social unity, will do a lasting damage. Even if there is any veracity in it, does Constitution allow lynching to death?" Anand Sharma said.

A report by Forensic Investigation Lab at Mathura confirmed that the meat found at the home of Mohammed Akhlaq, who was lynched by a mob in Dadri last year in September, was found to be 'beef'.

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

In the final result section of the report, signed by the Joint Director of the Forensic investigation Laboratory, Mathura, 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.
