Locals killed 3 alleged cattle smugglers from across the border in Karimganj district more than a year ago
The Assam Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has said that letting cases of lynching, even of criminals, go unpunished would send the wrong signal.
It made this observation while issuing an order to the Superintendent of Police of Karimganj district to submit the present status of the investigation into the lynching of three Bangladeshi nationals around midnight on July 18, 2020.
The AHRC had taken up the case on the basis of a complaint lodged by Baglekar Akash Kumar, a law student of Hyderabad’s Osmania University two days after the incident.
