Mob Lynching in India- causes, impacts and preventions

What is mob lynching?

Mob lynching refers to the act of violence by a large group of people towards a person. Lynching means to kill someone by a group of people, especially by hanging. Mob lynching is an offense against the human body and property which affects people as a society and as an individual. The mob lynching happens because people believe that the victim who did something wrong is not punished by the law properly and people come together to form a mob and take the law into their own hands to punish the victim.

People are so used to taking the law into their hands that mob lynching has become a common problem in India.
