A "bahu-beti bachao" (save your girls and daughters-in-law) mahapanchayat was organised on September 7 (Saturday) at Mandaur village near Sikheda. By then, the state DGP and senior officials had reached Muzaffarnagar, but none of them neither tried to stop the mahapanchayat nor issued an appeal at the meeting.



People began assembling at the mahapanchayat from Saturday morning. Many of them were carrying guns and other weapons. Provocative speeches were made at the mahapanchayat. A section of people attacked some of those going to the mahapanchayat. While returning from the mahapanchayat, the mob lynched a youth belonging to the other community.
