Allegations of Sexual Assault Against Minors
The migrant worker was accused of assaulting seven young girls between the ages of six and nine. After a search, he was apprehended and handed over to the police. However, before a proper investigation could take place, a mob formed outside the police station.
Mob Justice and Concerns for Safety
The mob overpowered the police and forcibly removed the accused from the station. The man succumbed to his injuries after being severely assaulted. This incident raises serious concerns about the prevalence of mob justice and the ability of law enforcement to protect individuals, even those in custody.
