AP - you're so right. There's been no mob rule in the States since the LA riots of 1992 and no American has been dragged behind anothers vehicle until unconscious for nearly 40 years! Indeed, India has a lot of catching up to do.

Simon, Sevenoaks,

The video is cruel, India really is backward in almost all the aspects related to something called civilization. Even IF he had robbed somebody, he still deserves human treatment, of course in accordance with law. At least thats what we do in US, we just don't go beat someone to death.

It is one of the several incidences committed by Indian police every day. Fortunately this incidence was captured by video camera otherwise no body would have been cruelty by police. International human right please make a note of this.

I am not surprised, not the least. The mob indeed wanted to nab and lynch, then dismember the one who has stolen millions of Rupees from the state exchequer - their own money - and is now honourable cabinet minister in the central government. They wanted to nab and smother the public works contractor responsible for the washed away bridge -- the long list ends, in this particular case alone - at Mohammed Aurangzeb.
Insha Allah, we will watch, and marvel, similar video clippings from India, again and again!

just goes to show despite all the hype about india, its still just a poor, third world, backward country, if it cannot even progress from mob justice to a justice from a court of law.

Akram, London,

its horrendous. Its all frustration of the people with the political system that brings forth such uncivilised behaviour. Its a social problem secondary to problems of corruption and unemployment created by a bad governance by castist and unfair policies of the people in power.It is not an isolated incident but it goes on in every nook and corner of india, its only not reported. Amnesty international pls take note of this.

can a wave be perpetual?

steve, Nairobi,

Good job! A strong dose of that in England would certainly reduce the perpetual crime wave and it would be fine group therapy to see the perpetrators suffering for a change.

India isin competiton with Chna for Gross Human Rights Abuse!!
More shocking than this isIndia though a largest Democracy in the world, also has dubious distinctions of having largest numbers of paedophiles in the world!!
Indian legal system is slow, corrupt and don’t consider paedophilia as a serious crime. There for many convicted paedophile will prefer to get extradited to India so that they can get away with very lineant sentence
Morever India is not a party to Hauge Convention therefore even if foreign competent court passes a order to return child to the country of habitual residence, this order is not ENFORCABLE in India.Paedohile and International Child abductors have taken advantage of this loopholes for years but still media and Govt not bothered to amend the Law. In fact when one of the professional body was made aware of this problem in private hearing, GMC shrugs off whistleblower saying public confidence is compromised!!

No doubt it is grusome incident, but why the author is adding relegious color to this.
