Why are they arresting people who delivered justice for a rape victim?

It's understandable that people are angry and want immediate justice for such a heinous act. However, resorting to lynching undermines the rule of law and creates more victims.

This incident highlights the deep-seated frustration with the justice system, but violence begets more violence. A robust and fair legal process, not mob fury, is the only path to true justice.
