Ranchi: Seventeen of the 44 people lynched in the country between May 2015 and December 2018 were killed in Jharkhand, according to data collated by an NGO.

The figure puts Jharkhand at the top of the heap of states where lynch mobs have struck, the small eastern state accounting for around 40 per cent of such casualties.

The grim piece of statistics resonates at a time Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed pain at the latest instance of lynching and pointed out that it was wrong to call Jharkhand an “adda (den)” of lynch mobs. “Is this fair? Why are they insulting a state? None of us have the right to insult the state of Jharkhand,” Modi told the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.

While an entire state cannot be held responsible for the atrocities committed by some people, the BJP-run administration in Jharkhand has been accused of trying to battle the virus through bureaucratic means such as occasional “circulars”.

The state government is yet to implement several key elements of the Supreme Court’s guidelines issued in July last year to deal with lynching.

“The state government is responsible for law and order and it is not taking steps which need to be taken for putting an effective check on mob lynching incidents,” said Harsh Mander, a former bureaucrat who works with survivors of mass violence and the deprived.

Mander, who has filed a PIL in Jharkhand High Court for enforcing the apex court’s guidelines to combat lynching, said the state’s lynching toll of 17 was the highest in the country, according to data collated by the NGO, Human Rights Watch.
