Calls for strict penal statute follows mob attack on doctor at COVID-19 care centre
A pan-Northeast legal group has renewed its demand for enacting law to deal specifically with cases of mob lynching.
The Assam-based North East Legal Organization (NELO) refreshed its year-old demand following the mob assault on a doctor at a COVID-19 care centre in central Assam’s Hojai district on June 1.
The police arrested 24 people, including a woman, for grievously injuring Dr. Seuj Kumar Senapati, holding him responsible for the death of a COVID-19 positive person who, healthcare officials said, died by the time he reached the centre.
