The man was being held at the Dimapur Central Prison in Nagaland, accused of raping a female student, according to reports.

The crowd took the man, who was thought to be a 35-year-old car dealer from Bangladesh, to the city's clock tower and stripped and beat him before pelting him with stones.

SHOCKING - reminds me of the 2010 Sialkot lynching case - tho mob was much smaller than this one in India's Nagaland http://ift.tt/18WToeZ
