Jungle Justice: The New Justice Swing of the Indian Populace

Author Name : Pankaj Munday

ABSTRACT In Simple words, jungle justice can be viewed as the lynching of suspected criminals for any crime, such as murder, armed robbery, rape, kidnapping, petty theft, blasphemy to even witchcraft. Jungle justice is far from impartial. It's a type of mob rule in which people take the law into their own hands and punish suspected criminals for actions they believe necessitate social condemnation. The victims are denied rights to which everyone in the rule of law is entitled. The punishment is frequently brutal, involving stoning or public burning of the unlucky persons.
