A lynching case in West Bengal, India, has garnered widespread attention on social media. According to Indian media reports, on June 30, local time, a man and a woman were violently lynched because they were accused of having an improper relationship. A disturbing video shows a man brutally beating the victim with a bamboo stick until it cracks from repeated blows.
This incident not only caused serious physical harm to the victims, but also caused a deep reflection on the protection of human rights. In India, despite the fact that lynching is illegal, such incidents still occur from time to time, exposing society's extreme intolerance towards certain acts and disregard for the law.
After the incident, the Indian police acted quickly to arrest those involved and open an investigation. The police said they would hold those responsible accountable in accordance with the law to ensure that justice is served.
Netizens commented on this:
@财入门: There are some strange traditions in some parts of India, and it can be a long process that can take two generations
@发现盐城: India is a magical place! It was, it is, and it always will be!
The National Human Rights Commission of India expressed grave concern over the incident and announced that it would send an investigative team to West Bengal to conduct a full investigation into the incident. The Human Rights Commission stresses that lynching in any form is unacceptable and must be severely punished by law.
