In the video, a woman along with a girl can be seen getting down from a cycle-rickshaw and crossing the road when two men on a bike approach them.
I strongly condemn the “lynching” of innocent pissful pillion rider by people chanting religious slogans. Just for a piece of gold. Isn’t a human life more precious than gold? Mudi must go!

Though the one riding the bike managed to escape, the pillion rider was quickly surrounded by a crowd and beaten up.
Good job. Now thus starts the initial steps towards lynching. Had the offence been worse than such petty theft the bystanders would have thrashed him perhaps to his death. Lack of Credibility of Police is the main reason
