According to reports, locals had vandalised the area when the man had attempted to escape after allegedly committing the murder. Nine people have been arrested in connection with the case.
The incident comes days after the Supreme Court observed that mob lynching is 'beyond law and order problem' and held the state governments responsible for maintaining calm.
The top court bench headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra said, "Nobody can take law into their own hands. It is the obligation of the states to see these incidents are prevented."
