A 24-year-old Muslim man named Tabrez Ansari was lynched by a mob in Jharkhand on the suspicion of stealing a motorcycle, on 18 June. He was allegedly beaten for 18 hours straight. Three days later, he succumbed to injuries.
A purported video of the lynching shows the attackers forcing him to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ as they beat him relentlessly.
