Security experts warn that the rising cases of mob justice stem from public distrust in the police and courts, with communities fearing that suspects will be released to reoffend. However, police have urged the public to hand over suspects for due process, cautioning that many lynching victims may be innocent or framed.
Authorities added that individuals found participating in mob killings have previously been arrested and charged.
