 Police in north-eastern India say they have charged 42 people in connection with the lynching of a suspected rapist who was taken from prison by a mob. 
  
 The man, identified as Syed Sharif Khan, was stripped naked, beaten and dragged through Dimapur, Nagaland state's main city, before being hanged. 
  
 Hundreds of policemen have been patrolling the streets of Dimapur since the incident amid increasing tension. 
  
 A curfew was also imposed in the city on Sunday to maintain law and order. 
  
 In earlier reports, police named the dead man as Farid Khan, but his family told the BBC his name was Syed Sharif Khan. 
  
 Police said Mr Khan was a Bengali-speaking Muslim trader from the neighbouring state of Assam. He was arrested in February on charges of raping a 19-year-old tribal woman three times. 
  
 Mr Khan's brother said he was picked on because of ethnic reasons. According to reports, the woman was related to Mr Khan by marriage. 
  
 After Mr Khan was taken from prison on Thursday, he was dragged through the streets by thousands of people. Police opened fire to try to stop the mob, wounding several people. 
  
 On Monday, police said the arrested men had been charged with rioting, arson and unlawful assembly. 
  
 "Some of these 42 arrested men were also directly involved in the lynching, and will face additional charges," news agency AFP quoted Inspector General of Police Wabang Jamir as saying. 
  
 There are conflicting versions of how a large mob entered the prison and then removed - and killed - one selected inmate.

 One version is that initially a small group of men went to the prison, and demanded to take out Mr Khan, and that some prison officials complied and led them to him. 
  
 Only later, several thousand people collected outside the jail, demanding that the prisoner be handed over to them. 
  
 The lynching happened in the midst of a controversy in India over the government's decision to ban India's Daughter, a documentary about the 2012 gang rape and murder of a student in Delhi. 
  
 But correspondents say the killing is also linked to rising ethnic tensions in Nagaland, whose indigenous tribespeople have blamed migrants from Assam state and Bangladesh for settling on their land. 
  
 Vigilante justice is not unheard of in India but it is rarely seen on this scale.

 The lynching points to rising anxiety among locals in Nagaland about Muslim Bangladeshi migrants who, they say, have illegally settled on their land and are encroaching on their resources. 
  
 Many say it also proves how easily mass hysteria can be whipped up among local people to brand any Muslim migrant as Bangladeshi. 
  
 The defendant in this case was not a Bangladeshi but a Bengali-speaker from the neighbouring state of Assam. His father served in the Indian air force, and two of his brothers are in the army. 
  
 The incident points to a complete breakdown of law and order in Nagaland, which is wracked by a tribal insurgency. 
  
 Chances of a settlement to the 58-year-old conflict continue to look dim after 17 years of negotiations because rebel factions who cannot agree on the territorial limits of a future Naga homeland or state. ||||| NEW DELHI — Photographs and videos on social media of an enraged mob that seized a man accused of rape from a jail in the northeastern Indian state of Nagaland, dragged him through the streets and beat him to death helped lead to the arrests of 22 people over the weekend, the authorities said. 
  
 The police identified 200 to 300 people who had either been involved in the violence that erupted in the city of Dimapur on Thursday or helped incite it, according to Wabang Jamir, a police inspector general in Kohima, the capital of Nagaland. More arrests were likely in the coming days, Mr. Jamir said, adding that it was unclear whether some of those arrested belonged to organized groups. 
  
 Another senior police official, Akheto Sema, said the thousands of people who descended on the jail were “a frenzied, leaderless, headless mob.” 
  
 The charges against those arrested included unlawful assembly, rioting and arson. Shops were burned during the protests that sprang up on Wednesday and Thursday, after it was learned that a man said to be an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh had been arrested in the rape of a woman from a Naga tribe. As yet, none of those arrested have been charged in his death. ||||| GUWAHATI: The Nagaland government blocked all internet and mobile data services in the state for 48 hours from Saturday night to stop people from circulating images and videos of the lynching of Syed Sarif alias Farid Khan in Dimapur.It also imposed curfew in Dimapur town from 3pm on Sunday till 12 midnight following rumours that some people were planning a candlelight march at the town's City Tower in the evening where Khan was lynched.Khan, a businessman from Assam who was accused of allegedly raping his Naga wife's cousin, was dragged out of Dimapur jail, paraded naked, pelted with stones and lynched by a rampaging mob on Thursday. The mob then hanged his body from the City Tower. Khan had been arrested on February 24.After videos related to the lynching went viral, the government instructed mobile service providers to block SMS/MMS services, and came out with a notification blocking internet in local newspapers on Sunday. Police said the step was taken as a preventive measure to contain tension."We have asked service providers to block all internet and mobile data services from 6pm on Saturday for 48 hours," Nagaland Police Dimapur range IGP Wabang Jamir said. "We want to stop circulation of the images and videos of the lynching, as these might escalate tensions."Police said the medical examination of the survivor confirmed she had been raped and at least 22 people were arrested in connection with the lynching. "The medical examination conducted on the survivor confirms prima facie that she was raped," Jamir told TOI. "Some injuries have been found on her hand and doctors have sent samples to the forensic lab for tests. The investigating officer has also sent her undergarments for forensic tests. She has told the doctor that she was raped twice."On Sunday, Dimapur, the commercial hub of the state situated on the plains adjacent to Assam, was tense. "The situation in Dimapur is tense and we have deployed 13 companies of state reserve police, two companies of CRPF and seven companies of Assam Rifles, covering all sensitive points at Dimapur," Jamir said. "We have provided security cover at all places of worship of the minorities."The IGP said there was no conspiracy behind Khan's lynching. "Initially, students got agitated against the alleged rape, but later miscreants took over and the incident took an ugly turn," he said. "Police and civil administration are engaged in confidence-building measures among the non-Naga population in Dimapur. The minorities haven't expressed fear and there hasn't been any exodus of non-Naga people from Dimapur."In Assam, there were protests against the lynching in many places. A 12-hour bandh, called by political, social and business organisations, was total with shops and business establishments closed and vehicular traffic staying away from the road in three districts of Barak valley.On Sunday, Khan was buried at his native Bosla village in Assam's Karimganj, where a large number of people, including former minister and Karimganj (South) MLA Siddeque Ahmed, gathered. Khan's body was airlifted to Karimganj on Saturday after Nagaland authorities handed it over to the Dimapur Muslim Council. |||||
What is a one-paragraph summary of the above article?
Answer: – At least 22 people have been arrested in India following last week's mob lynching of a suspected rapist, the New York Times reports; the BBC puts the number as high as 42. Police in the state of Nagaland have already ID'd as many as 300 people who had either been a part of the mob or spurred it to action, the Times notes, and cops say more arrests are likely. Charges stemming from participating in what one official calls "a frenzied, leaderless, headless mob" include arson, unlawful assembly, and rioting. In response to videos of the mob attack going viral, the Nagaland government has blocked all Internet and mobile data services for 48 hours (that started Saturday night) and instituted a curfew yesterday in Dimapur from 3pm until midnight to "contain tension," the Times of India reports. There's still much confusion around what transpired last Thursday, including how the mob got into the prison to drag suspect Syed Sharif Khan out into the streets: The BBC notes one story: that a small group of men entered the prison and asked for Khan, and prison officials gave in. And while the motivation for the lynching initially appeared to be a straightforward reaction to Khan's alleged rape of a young Naga girl—especially as others reacted to the banning of a recent rape documentary in India—Khan was also suspected of being one of the Muslim Bangladeshi accused of pouring into Nagaland and usurping land and resources from the locals. However, Khan was said to actually be a Bengali speaker from the neighboring Indian state of Assam, the BBC notes, with a father who had served in the Indian army and two brothers currently in the military.
