Some of the comments here are disturbing.

He was a suspect and even if he had committed the act, he deserved his day in court. Now he'll never be convicted and we are left with mob justice. Which should never be condoned.

I think people have long disabused themselves of the fairy tale that "a day in court" is somehow equivalent to "justice".

Sometimes mob justice is the only justice left.

Akku Yadav is probably one such case.

Is this one?

Don't know.

But mob justice is the court of last resort when the organized justice system is no longer trusted.
