The man who died was Subhan Ansari, 26. While his friend who is in the hospital is Dulal Mirdha, 22.

A senior police officer Ambar Lakda stated that an FIR will be filed against the villagers involved in the lynching, according to NDTV.

Villagers have claimed that they were spotted butchering a goat outside the village by some men who had surrounded them and accused them of theft.

The crowd allegedly dragged them into the village and tied them to a tree.

Then they thrashed the two men, and by the time the police arrived, they were found injured and bleeding.
