Bihar, July 01: Two persons were lynched, while another was severely thrashed in twin incidents in Bihar’s Buxar and Nawada districts, police said.
Neur Musahar was killed while Bagedu Musahar seriously injured at Itadhi, in Buxar district today as villagers beat them up following alleged recovery of some stolen articles from the residence of one Shivmuni Mahto.
The mob got hold of Bagedu Musahar, Neur Musahar, Rajendra Musahar and Surendra Musahar, all hailing from Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh and presently residing at their in-laws house at Itadhi.
