Uttam's Take: Lynching raises its ugly head again

April 22, 2020 12:32 IST

Uttam Ghosh offers his take on the lynching that occurred in Palghar, Maharashtra, on the night of April 16, 2020.

The police have arrested 101 people involved in the killing of two sadhus and their driver.

The three men were dragged out of their car and beaten to death by a mob who suspected that they were child lifters.

The Maharashtra government has ordered an inquiry into the crime, which has led the Bharatiya Janata Party to allege a breakdown in law and order in the state.
