What happened in the town?

Kicking off the debate on crime versus justice, the video of some villagers beating the thief with a stick went viral a few days after Parliament passed a bill banning group lynchings.
In the images you can see the man who was supposedly in charge of the robberies being beaten by a gang of men.
But as soon as the video went viral, people’s responses were all over the place.
While some termed the entire incident as a “crime”, others praised the villagers’ “justice system” and were aware of the “fall in law and order” scenario.

I hope these people know that from now on mob lynching is a crime and that you could face up to life in prison under the new criminal laws recently passed in parliament.

Well, it’s been happening for centuries because the judiciary and law enforcement have failed the people… And the liberal secular progressive fascists would selectively turn this into a religious issue to make money and so would the Indian prestituts and foreign.
