- Maharashtra Government has formulated a policy on cases of mob lynching.This policy came after Supreme Court had pulled up States across the country for not formulating such a policy.
- The new policy has pegged the amount of compensation between ₹2 lakh and ₹3 lakh which could be increased to ₹10 lakh in special cases.
- Further,human trafficking as a separate category was also added following petitions from several organisations which had argued that the victims be duly compensated.
- The Government has said that human trafficking victims will also be awarded a compensation equal to that of mob lynching.
- This proposed policy will be in addition to the existing scheme for victims of communal violence who get ₹5 lakh compensation.
- Lynching is a premeditated extrajudicial killing by a group.It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor or to intimidate a group.
