Within a span of a week another incident of a Muslim man being lynched has been reported from Bihar. Abbas Ansari, resident of Maliya Tola of Mirpur village of East Champaran district of Bihar has been allegedly beaten to death by a mob. In the last two weeks, reports of lynching have been reported from four districts of Bihar (Gaya, Raxaul, Samastipur, East Champaran).

On Wednesday, February 22, a mob in Gaya, Bihar, ruthlessly beat up Mohd Babar, Sajid and Rakhmuddeen –three Muslim youths– on “suspicion of theft”, killing one near instantly and leaving the other two in critical condition. Family members of the victims have asserted that it was an incident of “targeted killing”. Bihar Police has set up an SIT to probe the incident.
