2017 Jharkhand mob lynchings
The 2017 Jharkhand mob lynchings refer to a series of violent incidents that occurred in Jharkhand, India, where groups of individuals were assaulted and killed by mobs, largely fueled by allegations of cow theft and child kidnapping. These events gained national attention, with notable incidents occurring in June 2017, when two Muslim men, Alimuddin Ansari and Tabrez Ansari, were killed by lynch mobs. The lynchings were linked to rising tensions surrounding communal identities and vigilantism, emphasizing the growing influence of mob justice in response to perceived threats. The incidents sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from human rights activists and political leaders, highlighting issues of law enforcement, societal unrest, and communal harmony in contemporary India.
