2017 Jharkand mob lynching

The 2017 Jharkhand mob lynching refers to a series of violent incidents that occurred in June 2017 in the Indian state of Jharkhand, culminating in the brutal killing of two Muslim men, Mobin Ansari and Tabrez Ansari, by a mob on the allegations of cattle theft and beef consumption. These incidents ignited widespread outrage and condemnation across India, highlighting the rising concerns regarding mob justice, communal violence, and law enforcement's role in protecting minority communities. The lynching was part of a broader trend of threats against Muslims in India, incited by rising intolerance and vigilante justice, and sparked national and international debates on human rights, religious identity, and the rule of law in the country.
