MOB LYNCHING: AN EMERGING CRIME

Abstract

Mob Lynching, while a modern terminology in the Indian case, has been coming across world community for decades from moment to time. These events go unremarked due to the absence of a central law relevant to mob lynching within India, and the prejudice factor underlying those goes unacknowledged. In India, caste, faith, country, politics, witch hunting and hatefulness are the main reasons behind execution of mob lynching. From the rebellion of 1857 and the separation of 1947, significant instances of mob lynching have been seen by society disturbances to religious disturbances. There is no regulation in domestic level on mob lynching; however, survivors hold the right to obtain justice to uphold human dignity and civil rights. This piece of research deals with aspects of mob lynching in India and the function of legal mechanisms in curtailing the threat.
