Justice in Chaos: The Lynching of a Suspect in Jharkhand The image of a mob taking the law into their own hands is nothing new, but India's failure to protect its citizens from such incidents is a grim reminder of the country's shortcomings.
A recent incident in Jharkhand, where a 22 year old man accused of abducting and raping a teenager was lynched by a mob, is just another chapter in this sorry saga.
The details of the incident are disturbing: villagers attacked the suspect with fists, kicks, and sticks after allegations surfaced against him.
