The mob attack in Uttar Pradesh's Kushinagar has been caught on camera.
A man who allegedly shot dead a school teacher in Uttar Pradesh was beaten to death in the presence of policemen this morning. A mob is seen using sticks to beat the man in a video that has surfaced after the incident in Kushinagar in eastern UP.
Several policemen in riot gear were present and some were seen trying to stop the attack but the blows did not stop even when the man stopped moving.
The man's head appeared to have been bashed in and the ground was splattered with blood by the time the crowd was done with him.
According to the police, the man was from Gorakhpur. He allegedly shot and killed a teacher earlier today using his father's gun.
Local reports suggest that after shooting the teacher, the man climbed the terrace of his house, waved the gun and fired it to keep villagers at bay. When the police arrived, he raised his hands in surrender and was brought down by the police. He was being led to a police vehicle when the villagers allegedly dragged him away and set upon him.
More details are awaited.
