A man was beaten to death in Jharkhand’s Chatra district Tuesday morning after villagers accused him of confining and raping a minor girl.
A top officer in the administration said the allegations of abuse are yet to be confirmed.
Mohammed Sultan, the father of the lynching victim, Mohammed Imroze, has filed a police complaint.
According to the father’s complaint, a crowd of 100-150 people reached their place on Tuesday and accused them of forcibly keeping a girl from the village at their home.
When they denied this, people in the crowd tied up the man’s parents and assaulted them, the complaint said.
