Shamli: Five women were beaten up by a mob on suspicion of being child-lifters in Uttar Pradesh's Shamli district on Monday.
"In Kairana, information was received that five women had been caught by locals. After reaching the spot, we were told that these five women had come from outside. They had come here to sell ropes and toys. Somebody there spread the lies that they are child-lifters. A lot of people had gathered there and a few of them even beat them up," said Superintendent of Police Ajay Kumar Pandey.
