New Delhi - Several thousand people stormed a prison in northeastern India, where they dragged away a man accused of rape and then lynched him, police said on Friday.
The mob overpowered security at Dimapur Central Prison in Nagaland on Thursday and seized the rape suspect, whom they also accused of being an illegal migrant from Bangladesh. They pelted him with stones and beat him to death, said police Constable Sunep Aier.
