Note: <\/b>In 2017, the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) collected data on mob lynching, hate crimes and cow vigilantism, but it was not published and discontinued as these crimes are <\/span>not defined and the data were found to be unreliable.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In 2018, the Supreme Court asked Parliament to make lynching a separate offence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
