COMBATING MOB LYNCHING: LEGAL CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

The act of killing someone without a courtroom trial is known as a mob lynching. A crowd punishes and torments a person who is thought to have committed an act of hostility. A hate crime that targets individuals with certain identities or forms is mob lynching. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, and human dignity are all violated by mob lynching. It also violates Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees the fundamental right to life. In India, witch hunts, intolerance, caste, religion, geography, and politics are the main causes of mob lynching. From the 1857 uprising to the 1947 partition, there have been numerous instances of mob lynching in community and religious disturbances. Although there isn't a national legislation against mob lynching, victims' rights to justice under the constitution and their human rights are protected.
