"While I was returning from school, I saw my father was being beaten up by a mob," the victim's son told police and added that "by the time I could bring anyone to help rescue him, he was badly injured." The man succumbed to injuries even before he could be taken to hospital.
The police say two men who allegedly led the mob have been arrested and booked for murder.
