About The Incident
The incident took place in Jhamman Mamuni village, falling under the Salon Police Station area. Concerned over frequent thefts in the village, locals approached the police.
However, taking matters into their own hands, villagers caught the suspect red-handed and administered the harsh punishment, initiating an interrogation ordered by the Panchayat.
Confession Recorded On Camera
The villagers tied the man to a tree and brutally beat him until he confessed to the crimes. The confession was recorded on camera in front of the Panchayat and shared on social media. The video depicts the man pleading with the villagers.
This incident raises serious questions over law and order situation in the state. The villagers' resorting to vigilantism reflects the failure of police action, leading to further criminal acts.
Rather than taking the law into their own hands, villagers should have handed over the suspect to the police and let the legal process take its course. It's crucial for citizens to trust the police and legal system, refraining from such vigilantism.
