Angry mob hacks off alleged rapist's genitals with meat cleaver after dragging him into butchers

Thoughts?





A man accused of trying to rape a teenage girl is in a critical condition after locals hacked off his genitals with a meat cleaver in a butcher shop.

After hearing terrified screams, an angry mob took the law into its own hands and dragged Suresh Kumar, 40, into a butchers in the city of Ganganagar, India.

He was found down an alley, pinning the terrified girl against a wall.

Following a community meeting, the vigilantes decided to drag him to a local butcher’s shop where they beat him with sticks for an hour, before chopping off his genitalia with a meat cleaver.

The remains were then dumped in the middle of the road with Kumar's bleeding body nearby.

Local Aamir Dhawan, 30, said: "No one went to help the man because they could see his penis on the ground and knew this was punishment for a sex crime.

"We have had a lot of intolerable offences against women in this country recently, with girls being raped, hung, and molested, and it’s time it stopped.

"This sends out a very strong message to anyone like that - if you do it you will be punished."

Police have called for those responsible to come forward.

A police spokesman said: "People cannot take the law into your own hands.

"As deplorable as these crimes are, law and order has to be maintained, and not lynch justice.

"We ask those men who carried out this attack to hand themselves in before we find them.

The man was eventually taken to hospital where doctors described his condition as critical.

The girl was treated for shock, and given counselling.

The police are looking for the "Kumars at Number 42... Number 43 ..... and Number 44."

"When interviewed by police Suresh Kumar (42) said "No Comment" --- IN AN EXTREMELY HIGH VOICE!

..I can't really see the 'satisfaction' in doing that to someone, it's just a barbaric act and kind of makes them as bad as him and no justice at all imo..

i really can see why you'd think that, but when I think about a poor innocent child/woman getting raped, forced to have sex against their will, I really couldn't care less about what happens to their attacker.

Just think about the discomfort and pain and fear the victim will have gone through. It's not even the painful rape, it's the following weeks and even years after it. It could completely ruin someones life, yet all the rapist cares about is getting sex. It's disgusting and I wish there were stricter punishments.

If he did rape someone, he deserves it. But again, as I said, I can totally understand your thoughts about this.

...I do understand Caitlin but if he has a family..mother/father/siblings etc..?..there is their pain involved as well and they haven't done anything, they're completely innocent..if someone hurt someone I loved, would I want their mother to feel the same pain as I would feel...why would I do that to her..?...I just don't believe in an eye for an eye type thing..it isn't up to anyone to decide his guilt and his punishment other than the law..

Tragedy and misfortune is the basis of all humour --it's a 'coping' device.

Actually - to be deadly serious Kaz - It's Fking barbaric. He could have been trying to restrain an hysterical shoplifter he'd chased for all the thuggies knew. Even if they were right, he should have been handed over to the cops for due process of law to deal with. Kyle posted a valid post to the same effect.

Love & bullets, Kirk.

Mob justice is no justice but we are dealing with a very backward society who have little education so its no surprise

If he did it, then power to the people, but it does say that he was only 'suspected' so i guess it was a bit premature.

[arista]

Its india

Nothing new

Why not put India:

[Cal.]

oop

[Samuel.]

Not justifiable whatsoever

[GypsyGoth]

Good enough for the rapist.

[Shaun]

Nothing says justice like a brutal maiming before he's even found guilty, after all...

[smudgie]

Rape..barbaric violation.

Castration..barbaric violation.

The mob are as bad as a rapist...and this man was not a proven rapist.

Agreed.

[Ammi]

..it's totally sickening and wrong, it's not justice at all, it's just mutilation and makes them equally as bad as the 'guilty' if he was guilty ...but that wasn't for them to decide or to decide what his 'sentence' would be.....even if it's a country with very flawed laws, they're the only laws they have..without law there would only be chaos and mob rule and if the mob 'decide' then that will only make the situation far worse than it is already...two wrongs will never ever be right ....

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

If he had hurt a family member not sure I would have felt sorry for him.

Don't know about that, I'd say a lot of woman would much prefer mob rule then the laws they have obide by over there, I don't see a human being emotionally reacting to something he has witnessed and reacting that way on par with a child rapist tbf i don't know how people can even think that, the circumstances are totally different

I expect we all remember when that young woman was brutally raped on a bus and received internal injuries from being assaulted with iron bars - injuries so bad that she died of those injuries. The men responsible for that crime expected to walk away and they probably would have, had it not been for Indian people's outrage at the inertia of the police and the fact that they took to the streets in protest which brought the incident to the attention of the world. Poor people in India are not served by the police, they are not considered worthy, and poor women even less worthy than poor men. And if that's changing, it's changing slowly... glacially slowly.

I don't agree with mob rule, but if the law isn't working, if people are not getting justice, then something will always snap. And if I'm going to feel compassion for someone, it's probably not going to be for the man who was dragged off a young women in an alley, but for the countless women who have lived through the brutal degradation of rape and gang rape, and the countless women who have died as a consequence of it without ever having the hope that justice will prevail.
