Mob lynching: An uprising offence needed to be strenuous under the Indian legal system
Authors
Arnold Ht Sangma
Abstract
There is a high rise in Mob Lynching in India. Lynching is not defined under the Indian Legal System and there are no punishments in regards of lynching. The word lynch has been originated during the American Revolution by Charles Lynch. In India lynching was first reported in the Khairlanji Massacre, 2006. During the year 2017 we have been observing a total number of 8 cases where 5 cases happened recently in the month of June. Lynching is a serious crime and a punishable offence and it should be included under various offences given in the Indian Penal Code. Awareness programs should be created so that the people are aware that lynching is a serious offence and not to take part in it. It is the duty of the Government to punish a criminal; a layman should not take law into his own hands.
