The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued a notice to the Director General of Police in Jharkhand over reported mob lynching of seven persons on suspicion of being child kidnappers. 
Out of the seven persons, four were killed in the Seraikela Kharsawan district and three in Nagadih area of East Singhbhum district. Expressing serious concern over the incidents, the commission asked for a detailed report within four weeks. 

Taking suo motu cognizance of the case based on a media report, the commission said, a civilised society cannot allow such heinous crimes to occur where human lives are taken by angry mob merely on suspicion of them being anti-social elements.
