Less than 48 hours after two Hindu priests were murdered in Uttar Pradesh's Auraiya district on August 15 Independence Day, five men were arrested - Salman, Jabbar , Nadeem , Majnu and Shehzad. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had set the deadline. The police say all five were involved in cow slaughter and murdered the priests for opposing them and having two of their friends arrested the night before the murder. There are inconsistencies in this version.
