The trio - Vikas Kumar Verma, Gautam Kumar Verma and Gangesh Gupta - were dragged out of a house and beaten to death on Thursday in Nagadih in East Singhbhum district as villagers accused them of kidnapping children. An old woman was also brutally assaulted.

 

"They killed my boys, they beat up my mother... the administration did nothing, they should have at least tried to stop the attackers or keep them at a safe distance," the father of Vikas and Gautam said, as he broke down. Angry locals have alleged inaction by the administration.

 

Police say rumours of child-lifting had been swirling in the region, as well as the neighbouring Saraikela district, where three cattle traders, Nayeem, Seraj Khan and Sajju, were also thrashed to death by a mob.

When the police reached the villages in both cases, they were reportedly completely outnumbered by the mobs. Villagers allegedly turned on the policemen and attacked them, leaving some of them injured.

Cars and police jeeps were also targeted and set on fire by the villagers.

"Anger was spread among people through baseless rumours and they then took law in to their own hands. We are in the process of identifying who are responsible and they will be prosecuted," said DK Pandey, the state's seniormost police officer.

On Saturday, hundreds of villagers clashed with the police in the Jamshedpur region, protesting the killing of the six men over suspicion of being child-lifters. Cops had to resort to lathi-charge and used tear gas at some places to control angry protesters.

Strongly condemning the killings, Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das on Friday announced Rs. 2 lakh compensation for the family of each victim and directed authorities to identify and act against the accused.

In the last photographs taken of him, Mohammed Naeem is pleading to a group of villagers as blood trickles down from his head. Half of his body is soaked in red. His shirt presumably ripped away, and dirt marks on his pants suggest he was kicked repeatedly. Hands folded, the father of three struggles to convince the people surrounding him that he is innocent.

But they lynch him anyway.

Naeem was the last of four people to be beaten to death on Thursday by villagers in Sobhapur, less than an hour’s drive from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand’s most populous city.

Another group of three were lynched less than 20 kilometres away.

Naeem’s last moments became the face of a string of attacks in the state triggered by rumours spread on WhatsApp that child abduction gangs are on the prowl.

 

Villagers, mostly tribal people, along the borders of Seraikela-Kharsawan, East Singhbhum and West Singhbhum districts picked up weapons such as sticks and bats, and were attacking strangers. Sobhapur falls under the Seraikela-Kharsawan district.

Two people were killed over similar suspicions earlier in the week. None of the victims were involved in kidnapping.

Naeem’s last moments bring back memories of Gujarat tailor Qutubuddin Ansari, whose image of pleading to a rioting mob in Gujarat in 2002 became the face of one of India’s worst communal violence. Ansari was rescued.

Naeem was not as fortunate.

A resident of Ghatsila in East Singhbhum district, Naeem and his cattle trader companions were passing through Sobhapur early in the morning on Thursday.

Villagers along the Tata-Chaibasa road stopped their SUV, dragged the four people out and tortured them for four hours before killing them.

Naeem was the last to die, even though the police had reached the spot before the last of fatal blows landed on him.

Outnumbered, the police did not intervene.

Jalauddin said Naeem, his brother-in-law, was an affable man. He took good care of his aging parents and groomed his children well. Naeem’s wife is a deputy village head.

The family declined to accept a compensation of Rs 2 lakh offered by the district administration. They, and people in their villagers, demanded the chief minister meet them and promise justice.

Two of the victims were identified as Uttam Kumar Verma, a resident of Jugsalai, and Ganesh Kumar Gupta of Bagbera, the SP (City) said, adding that the identity of another victim could not be established.

As long as resources (that help to drive education, social change, peace/order, etc.) < that required to support the population, these things will continue

 

Let's not forget topics such as pandits being killed and driven out of their homes in Kashmir by "mobs". Many of them are still waiting to be resettled
