Genocide: Massacres, torture, expulsion: Other incidents: On 17 June 2019, 24-year-old Tabrez Ansari was attacked by a lynch mob in Jharkhand, India.

Ansari, a Muslim, was tied to a tree, brutally beaten and forced to chant Hindu religious slogans.

On the morning of 22 June, Ansari's family received news that his condition was severe, and he was admitted to Sadar Hospital.

[8] The Tabrez family demanded that the perpetrators be tried under Section 302 (Punishment for murder) of the Indian Penal Code.

The resulting medical report concluded that Tabrez Ansari suffered a skull fracture caused by a "hard and blunt object", a subarachnoid haemorrhage, and clotting of blood in the lower layer of the skull; and suggests that these injuries led to the cardiac arrest that resulted in Ansari's death.

[13] On 9 September 2019, the police dropped the murder charges by giving cardiac arrest as the reason of death, which led to an uproar.

[16] The lynching resulted in public anger,[17] debates on the use of "Jai Shri Ram" as a war cry against muslims[18] and multiple protests, including one in New Delhi held near the parliament house, where protesters chanted slogans against the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and demanded an end to anti-Muslim violence.

[17] Modi commented on the lynching in parliament, that he was pained[19] to hear about the incident and calling for "the strictest possible punishment to the accused".

[17] Rahul Gandhi, at the time President of the Indian National Congress, called the lynching a "blot on humanity".

"[20] The issue was raised at the 41st General Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council along with an increasing number of mob lynchings against Muslims and Dalits in India since Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power.
