A man was lynched by a small mob here on Wednesday on suspicion of his involvement in a murder, police said.
Six people, including two women, have been arrested over the crime.
According to police, Narendra, 29, was attacked by 18 people -- mostly his neighbours -- with hockey sticks and knives, alleging he murdered a man named Chanchal last year.
