LUCKNOW: An Indian ice-cream seller was beaten to death by a mob which accused him of raping a girl just yards away from a “house of horrors” where the remains of over 20 people were found last year.
The middle-aged man was lynched by residents on Tuesday after they accused him of enticing a neighbour’s six-year-old daughter into a shed and raping her in Noida, a town on the outskirts of New Delhi.
The screams of the child drew the attention of her parents and others in the neighbourhood who caught and beat the man. He died in hospital of his injuries, police said.—Reuters
