Media vehicles were attacked by locals in Uttar Pradesh's Basera village in Dadri, where a Muslim man was killed and his son was attacked by a mob following rumours of 'beef' being consumed by his family. The locals have been attempting to stop politicians and the media alike to visit the region.

The deceased Mohammed Aqlakh's elder son Sartaj, who is an Air Force personnel, had appealed to politicians and the media to not disturb the family during their time of grief.
