Army, cops rescue 3 sadhus from being lynched by Assam mob
The Army and police personnel in Assam on Friday saved three sadhus from being lynched by a mob of hundreds over suspicion that they were child-lifters. In June, two youths were lynched by a mob based on rumours of child-lifting, leading to massive outrage in the state. The Home Ministry has asked states to check incidents based on such rumours.
