In a horrific incident, a 45-year-old man was lynched to death by a mob alleging goat theft in Tripura’s West district.
The deceased has been identified as Sunil Oraon.
As per inputs, he was found dead with his hands tied to a tree, where the group of villagers have allegedly beaten him to death accusing him of stealing a goat.
The incident took place at Meghliband Basti in the district late Saturday night, May 6, 2023.
Following the incident, the victim’s son registered a murder case against as many as nine persons.
