The SP said,” Some newspapers and other mediums of the media have dubbed this incident as mob lynching. It would not be appropriate to keep this incident in the category of mob lynching as in the incident of mob lynching, a large number of uncontrolled mob or unruly mob carry out the incident of murder, while in this incident some criminals have caused the incident”.
By giving such an incident the form of mob lynching, the image of the village and the local villagers is tarnished, and unrest is created in the area, some anti-social elements take advantage of this to spread confusion in the society and create tension and dispute between different communities, the SP said. A situation can be created, due to which the problem of law and order can arise, he added.
