Indian city under curfew after mob lynches rape suspect

Authorities in a north-eastern Indian city said Friday they had imposed a round-the-clock curfew, a day after a rape suspect was pulled out of jail and lynched by a mob and another man was killed in the subsequent police firing. The suspect, who stood accused of raping a woman multiple times and was arrested in late February, was dragged out of the prison in Dimapur city in Nagaland state before being beaten to death and strung up to a clock tower on Thursday.
"A 25-year-old youth suspected to be part of the mob was injured in police firing, who later succumbed to his injuries," Meren Jamir, SP in Dimapur, told AFP.
