Mohammad Fareed, lynched by a mob in Aligarh on June 18 over theft suspicions, has been posthumously booked for dacoity along with eight others following a complaint from Lakshmi Mittal, mother of one of the accused in the lynching. Mittal alleged that Fareed attempted to molest her and stole valuables before his death. Her complaint led to charges under IPC Sections 354 and 395 against Fareed and others. This contrasts with Fareed’s family’s claim that he was attacked while returning home from work. The incident has heightened communal tensions in the area, with ongoing police investigations.
