Rape accused paraded naked, killed in Nagaland

An alleged rapist, suspected to be an illegal Bangladeshi migrant, was beaten to death on Thursday after being pulled out of a jail by a mob at Dimapur in Nagaland.

Syed Farid Khan, a 35-year-old second hand car dealer, had allegedly raped the victim several times on February 23 and was arrested the following day following a complaint lodged by the victim. The police resorted to blank firing and fired tear gas shells but failed to control the situation, officials said.

At least 10 vehicles were also set ablaze by the unruly mob forcing the authorities to clamp curfew in Dimapur district.

"A mob of around 4,000 people stormed the central jail after breaking the two gates and took the accused out of jail and paraded him naked to the city tower in the heart of Dimapur town, before we could rescue him from the mob," district police chief Meren Jamir told IANS.
