NEW DELHI: Two men suspected of raping and murdering a five-year-old girl in a remote northeast Indian state were dragged from a police station and lynched by an enraged mob, police said Tuesday. The girl?s disappearance from Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh state, and the discovery of her badly disfigured body, sparked widespread anger. The accused, both plantation workers from neighbouring Assam state, were being questioned by police when a hundreds-strong mob carrying weapons stormed the compound on Monday. ?The mob damaged the station and took away the accused before beating them to death with clubs, hammers and stones,? Lohit police chief Issac Pertin told AFP. Fifteen people, including several policemen, were injured. No arrests have been made yet in connection with the lynching.
