Akhlaq lyncing case: Left seeks Presidents intervention as UP govt drops charges, calls it politically motivated

CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat has urged President Murmu to intervene against the Uttar Pradesh government's move to withdraw charges in the 2015 Dadri mob lynching of Mohammad Akhlaq. Karat termed the governor's approval of the withdrawal a politically motivated attempt to subvert justice, questioning the governor's constitutional duty to uphold the rule of law.
