Two people were lynched in West Bengal&rsquo;s Nadia district after being accused of murdering a minor boy. The incident took place in Nischintapur when locals discovered the body of Swarnabha Biswas, a Class 3 student, wrapped in tarpaulin and floating in a pond.
The enraged mob suspected neighbours Utpal Biswas (45) and his wife Soma Biswas (38) of involvement in the crime. Both were dragged out of their residence, beaten severely, and their house was set on fire. The couple was rushed to Tehatta Hospital, where doctors declared them dead. Another person injured in the violence is undergoing treatment.
Police reports said the child had gone missing on Friday evening, and after an overnight search, his body was found on Saturday morning. Locals alleged the boy&rsquo;s body bore cut marks, and suspicion fell immediately on the neighbours, who had earlier been accused of attempting to abduct children in the past.
All three bodies, the boy and the two lynching victims, have been sent for postmortem. Police have started an investigation but have not made any arrests yet. Officials stated they are awaiting autopsy results and working to identify those responsible for the mob attack.
