Maharashtra: 21-year-old Muslim student lynched in Jamner, family members assaulted
Jamner: Suleman Rahim Khan, a 21-year-old farmer’s son from Chhoti Betawad in Jamner taluka, was brutally beaten to death by a mob of 9–15 men and left outside his home on Sunday. His parents and sister were also attacked while trying to save him.
According to witnesses, the assailants first confronted Suleman, allegedly while he was with a 17-year-old girl, at a café near the local police station. He was forcibly taken in a vehicle, assaulted at multiple locations, and brought back to his village for the final attack. Instead of being taken to hospital, his body was allegedly dumped at his doorstep.
Suleman, who had recently completed Class 12 and was preparing for police recruitment, had travelled to Jamner earlier that day to submit his application. He sustained fatal internal injuries from sticks, iron rods, and punches. Doctors at Jalgaon District Hospital declared him dead on arrival.
His father, Rahim Khan, alleged that there was “not a single inch” of his son’s body without wounds. “I will not rest until the culprits face the harshest punishment,” he said. The family has demanded that the accused be booked under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
The killing has triggered tension in Jamner, with community leaders comparing it to the Beed lynching case earlier this year. AIMIM leader Imtiaz Jaleel condemned it as “another case of mob lynching” and accused police of rushing the family into last rites before all suspects were caught.
Residents staged a sit-in outside Jamner police station on Monday evening. Superintendent of Police Maheshwar Reddy said four suspects have been arrested, and five more are being traced. The FIR includes charges of murder, kidnapping, rioting, and unlawful assembly under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Police said the motive may be linked to an inter-community relationship, but investigations are ongoing. Additional forces have been deployed to maintain law and order. The case is now being seen as a key test of the state government’s response to rising mob violence.
