A 40-year-old mentally ill person was lynched by angry locals after he bludgeoned a neighbour to death in a village in South Tripura district on Sunday, a police officer said.<\/p>\n
Asish Debnath of Kalacherra village under Manubazar police station is a known mental patient who has gone berserk on Sunday morning. Two locals went there to pacify him.<\/p>\n
“Debnath became violent and attacked the two. He hit one of them with an iron rod killing him on the spot. The other person managed to flee,” Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Nityananda Sarkar told PTI.<\/p>\n
After killing Desapriya Bhattacharjee, Debnath took the body to a nearby pond and remained there with the iron rod.<\/p>\n
After being informed by the villagers, a police team reached Kalacherra village.<\/p>\n
Noticing the police van, Debnath tried to flee while the security personnel and local people chased him.<\/p>\n
The villagers caught hold of Debnath and assaulted him.<\/p>\n
“We took him to a nearby health facility where he was declared brought dead,” the police officer said.<\/p>\n
The SDPO said that Debnath was arrested for attacking police personnel last year and was out on bail.<\/p>\n
“We have registered a case into the incidents and investigation is on”, he said.<\/p>\n
