CWN Editor's Note: Police in Jharkhand have made three arrests following the lynching death of a Christian man.
David Minz was found beaten to death last week. He had been accused of molesting a disabled young girl; the suspects in the killing are the girl’s relatives.
Authorities in Jharkhand have been unable to eliminate the practice of lynching. The victims are usually members of a religious minority in the mostly Hindu state, who may be killed on the basis of an unproven charge.
