Bulandshahr man allegedly lynched by Hindu Yuva Vahini
Ghulam Mohammad's family has accused the Hindu Yuva Vahini a right-wing group, of committing the crime.
Yuva Vahini was set up years ago by Yogi Adityanath, who took over as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in March.
Ghulam Mohammad was the neigbour of a 19-year-old man who ran away with an 18-year-old girl from a neighbouring village and is accused of kidnapping by her family.
The group allegedly arrived when the girl's family complained that the police hadn't taken action.
The attackers spotted Ghulam Mohammad sitting in a mango orchard, dragged him to a deserted spot and allegedly lynched him, NDTV quoted his son as saying.
"In the complaint we have written that the members are of the Hindu Yuva vahini. Right now we are verifying," senior police officer Muni Raj told NDTV.
