A Muslim man was beaten to death on Monday by a mob of Hindus who suspected him of stealing a cow, a revered symbol in the Hindu religion.
It was the fourth time in six weeks that Hindus had killed Muslims they suspected of slaughtering, stealing or smuggling cows.
The police found the bloodied and battered body of the man, Mohammad Hasmat Ali, early Monday morning in the remote village of Uchekon Moiba Thongkhong in Manipur, a state in northeast India.
Mr. Ali, 55, married with three sons, was a leader in the neighboring village of Keirao Makting, where he was headmaster of a madrasa.
Police officials said Mr. Ali had no criminal record and no known links to the cattle business.
“What is happening here is completely wrong – people taking the law into their hands,“ Naba Kanta, senior police official leading the investigation into the death of Mr Ali said in an interview.
"We are faced with the problem of mob Justice in this area and we are trying to do everything possible to contain."
