Migrant youth lynched for molesting girls in Arunachal

A migrant youth from Assam was lynched by a mob in Roing town in Arunachal Pradesh’s Lower Dibang Valley for allegedly molesting several girls, police said.

The 19-year-old man was arrested on Thursday after it came to light that he had allegedly molested several students at a school.

The parents of the girls had nabbed the youth and handed him over to the police.

However, a day later, a mob barged into the police station, dragged the youth outside and killed him by thrashing him.

He used to work at a construction site near the school, police said.
