Three people, including a woman, sustained injuries after being beaten up by mobs that were triggered by rumours in two separate cases in Aurangabad district in Maharashtra.

A woman, identified as Puja Gavai from Ranjangaon village, was assaulted by a mob in Avinash Colony, Valuj in Aurangabad on allegations of being a child lifter, ANI reports. She was looking for a house on rent in the area.

The act was caught on camera and the video made the rounds of social media on 15 June. Gavai was rescued by the local police, who recorded her statement as part of the probe into the attack and rushed her to the hospital.
