Main accused in Junaid's lynching arrested from Maharashtra, confesses to killing

Junaid was stabbed to death while his brothers, Hashim and Sakir, were injured by a mob which also allegedly hurled slurs against them.

Haryana hate crime: 4 accused in Junaid’s lynching case sent to 2-day police custody

Earlier on the day, the kin of the lynched teenager had identified the four accused.

Notably, a 16-year-old Junaid Khan was lynched on a moving train in Haryana by a mob on allegation that he was ‘carrying beef’.

The most high-decibel argument in the wake of Junaid’s lynching goes something like this — two groups were fighting for seats.

Police said one of the accused arrested in the lynching case is a 50 year old Delhi government employee.

The chief minister condemned the incident and appealed the nation to maintain peace. He said hunt for other accused is underway.

Citizen protests will be held in Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram and Bengaluru simultaneously on June 28.

The victims were abused with religious slurs while travelling back to their village in Haryana after shopping in Delhi for Eid.
