When did we turn this barbaric?
It seems like some people in this country have been gripped by pure lunacy. The incidents of mob lynching that have been occurring all over the country have again reminded us of the incompetence of our law enforcers. Is there any sense of humanity and rationality left in us at all?
It is hard to imagine how a group of people could be driven into a murderous frenzy triggered by just a rumour or a verbal instigation. But that is our reality now. Innocents are falling victims to mob lynching and that too in broad daylight.
The vile individuals involved in this heinous crime should be identified and brought to justice as soon as possible to set an example. The concerned authorities should make this a high-priority issue and take strict steps to prevent the spread of rumours that are causing innocents to be beaten to death in cold blood.
It is high time we stepped outside our bubble and admitted the fact that we as a nation are failing. The government, law enforcers along with the human rights organisations should immediately come forward to put an end to these killings. It is absolutely ridiculous that all it takes is a little push to cause people to reveal such extreme cruelty.
