Saharanpur: A 27-year-old Muslim man, Mohd Salman, succumbed to injuries on January 18 after being violently assaulted by villagers in Nawada, Saharanpur district. The incident, which occurred on January 13, was captured on video, showing Salman tied upside down with his legs bound as villagers repeatedly beat him with sticks.

Salman and his companion, Mohammed Rafid, were accused of attempting to rob the house of Raj Kumar in Nawada village. According to Saharanpur Superintendent of Police (SP) Sagar Jain, the villagers caught the two men as they tried to flee after a robbery attempt and subjected them to a brutal beating.

Salman was handed over to the police and received medical treatment but later died. His body was returned to his family after a postmortem examination.

A case has been registered against Salman and Rafid for the alleged robbery. However, little progress has been reported in taking action against the mob responsible for the assault. Videos of the incident, widely circulated on social media, have sparked outrage and reignited discussions on mob justice and the need for accountability.

Authorities have assured a thorough investigation, with SP Jain stating that strict action will be taken against those found guilty.
