Man hired by Tripura govt to prevent lynching gets lynched
A 33-year-old man, Sukanta Chakrabarty, hired by the Tripura government to dispel rumours about child-lifters on social media was lynched by villagers on Thursday night after they suspected him to be a kidnapper. Chakrabarty travelled from village to village with a loudspeaker asking people not to get affected by child-lifting rumours. Two other men accompanying him were also assaulted.
