Eight years after the tragic lynching of Abhijit Nath and Nilotpal Das in Nagaon district, Assam, a local court has convicted 20 individuals involved in the mob attack. The incident, which occurred due to suspicions of the victims being child-lifters, has been a focal point in discussions about mob violence in India. The court's decision to acquit 25 other accused has sparked dissatisfaction among the victims' families, prompting the public prosecutor, Ziaul Kamar, to consider an appeal against the acquittals after reviewing the detailed judgement. Sentencing for the convicted individuals is set for April 24. The trial was notably challenging, as many witnesses reportedly turned hostile, complicating the prosecution's case.
