On the night of 16 April when two ascetics who stayed in an ashram in Kandevali decided to go to Surat to attend a funeral.
On Thursday night, the three men were lynched by a mob in Maharashtra's Palghar district after allegedly suspecting them to be a child kidnappers and organ harvesters.
The three were stopped by a group of villagers in Gadchincle a tribal village in a remote part of Palghar and attacked them with stones, logs and axes till death.
As per sources,
the two ascetics, 70 years old Mahant Kalpavruksha Giri and 35 years old Sushil Giri maharaj, who stayed in an ashram in Kandevali, decided to go to surat.
The two subsequently hired a car driven by Nilesh Yelgade of 30years to travel from Kandivali till Surat. In an attempt to avoid being stopped on their journey the three appeared to have taken the back roads of Palghar district to enter Gujarat rather than use the Mumbai-Gujarat highway.
ATTACK HISTORY ON TRAVELLERS IN THE SAME AREA
As per sources, over the past few days, local villagers had formed vigilant groups after rumors that organ harvesters, child lifters and thieves were operating in these areas at night.
A day before the incident, a local activist and his team were attacked when they had gone to Sarni village to supply provisions to the tribal during the lock down.

VILLAGER's ATTITUDE TOWARDS POLICE
If we talk about the same night, as per official is said to have reached the spot and tried to pacify the mob. By then the mob had overturned the car in which the three were traveling and even threatened the policemen.
The mob managed to pull out the three from the police vehicle and they were lynched till death.
.
However, the police somehow arrested 101 people and 9 minors so far. The state has also said that an inquiry will be held to examine the conduct of policemen as well.
.
Now the question is
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST ?
Mob lynching is not a new trend in countries like India .
WHY THE LEADERS OF THE STATE AND COUNTRY COVERING SUCH INCIDENTS BY REFERRING IT AS "Communal politics" PRACTICED BY OPPOSITION ?
Those innocent people can't be alive again but they can get justice! WILL THEY?

These incidents are terrifying and saddening, i hope people overcome this narrow mindset soon.
The blame game continues once the incident take place, we tend to lose the people forever. But justice is not served in their plates. The judiciary must take some action.
This is pure inhuman act done by some low class lynchers and uneducated people.
But you should also raise the fact of mob lynching that has happened in Karbi Anglong.
