Rizwan, a Muslim biryani vendor in Lucknow, was attacked while transporting meat through Itaunja on September 20, according to police accounts. Three men allegedly stopped him, accused him of carrying prohibited meat and threatened his life. This is a dated account of that incident, not a new attack on September 28.
Police registered a case naming Rana Yadav, Shanu and Suraj after receiving Rizwan’s complaint. The alleged offences include assault and criminal intimidation. Officers also collected meat samples for examination; the allegation about what he was carrying is not a confirmed test result.
Reporting described treatment for injuries to his head and face. The available accounts differ on whether arrests had occurred, so no arrest outcome is asserted here. No laboratory finding, response from the accused or court judgment was established in the reviewed material.
