Nagaland Lynching: 42 Arrested as Police Go Through Mob Killing Footage

DIMAPUR, NAGALAND:  A total of 42 arrests have been made, many through the night on Sunday, in connection with the lynching of a rape-accused in Nagaland's Dimapur last week by a large mob that broke into a jail and dragged the man out. Curfew has been lifted in the city from this morning but markets and schools remain shut. Internet and SMS services are still suspended across Nagaland, four days after videos of Syed Sarif Uddin Khan's lynching surfaced on the net. On Thursday, thousands broke into the Dimapur Central Jail, dragged out Syed Sarif Uddin Khan, stripped him, beat him up, tied him to a motorcycle and dragged him for 7 km. He died on the way. The mob then hung his body at a roadside roundabout.   NDTV
