Top🏛 Court Gives States 1⃣ Week to Show Steps Taken to Prevent Mob Lynching.

The Supreme Court on Friday gave states one week's time to give a report on what steps they have taken to prevent mob lynching. Only nine states have replied to the Supreme Court so far. The top court warned the remaining states that their respective Home Secretaries will be summoned if they failed to file the report within the time frame.

During the hearing, the Centre informed the court that an Empowered Group of Ministers has been set up to consider framing a law on mob violence following the cow vigilantism verdict. Thirty-one deaths due to lynching have been reported from nine states in the last one year.
