The Assam Police has arrested on Mondaytwo persons for their alleged involvement in lynching two youths to death on the suspicion of stealing cow in Assam’s Nagaon district.
Meanwhile, Protests rocked Naramari area of Nagaon on Monday in protest against the killing of the two youths and some people also staged a protest and blocked the highway with the two bodies. The agitating people, however, lifted the agitation later after police assured an impartial probe.
Superintendent of Police Debraj Upadhaya said two persons have been arrested from Nagaon for their alleged involvement even as search is on to find out more people for their involvement in the crime.
On Sunday a mob lynched two youths for mere suspicion that they were stealing cow. “When our team reached the spot, the mob already beat them severely. We sent them to hospital but they succumbed to their injuries,” the SP said.
“We have registered a case and investigation is on in this regard. As of now we have arrested two and interrogation is on to get some more names, who were involved in the crime,” he added.
