hapur lynching

A local court in Uttar Pradesh's Hapur on Tuesday convicted all 10 people accused in the 2018 mob lynching case and sentenced them to life imprisonment. The court of Additional District Judge (POCSO) Shweta Dixit, after hearing both the parties, convicted 10 people of killing 45-year-old Qasim and assaulting Samaydeen (62) on a false rumour of cow slaughter.

We examine the impact of the NDTV sting exposing lynching accused admitting their role in incidents of mob attacks in the name of the cow.
