A woman, who was reportedly molested by the accused, raised the alarm and locals promptly started to search for the man. Once they found the suspect they tied him to a tree and repeatedly flogged and beat him. Locals reportedly said they felt they had to take matters into their own hands as the police were ignoring their previous complaints against the suspect.
