It may be mentioned that 28-year-old Animesh was attacked when he was helping an aged person along with two others who fall off from his two-wheeler at the Nirmal Charali road of the town. The mob misinterpreted that the leader was responsible for the accident of the aged person and brutally thrashed him to death.
