<h2>First case</h2>
According to the police, on the night of July 14, Niga case came to light where a group of people alleged that a person was beaten up for not chanting "Jai Shree Ram" after which a case was registered under several relevant sections of rioting and spreading hatred.&nbsp;
The cops said that during the investigation, they had recorded several statements and found out that it was a case of road rage. However, the Muslim community told the individual to register a case at the police station stating he was forced to chant 'Jai Shree Ram.'&nbsp;
Later, the victim too clarified that he was told to chant "Jai Shree Ram". Now, the Yavatmal police are in the process of registering another case against those who forced the victim to give a false story to the cops.
<h2>Second case</h2>

Soon after this incident, people across India started criticising the government and its law and order.&nbsp;

<h2>Third case&nbsp;</h2>
Another case occurred in the Aurangabad district wherein a food delivery boy and another person were beaten up by a mob for not chanting Jai Shree Ram. The cops registered a case and started an investigation where they found 40 seconds CCTV footage and analysed it. An officer said, "We have recorded the statements of a few people and also analysed the CCTV footage. We began to wonder as to how can somebody be forced to chant Jai Shree Ram in just 40 seconds. This too seems to be another road rage case.

Expressing concerns over the rise in the number of mob lynching and the religious persecution of minorities in the name of religion in the country, 49 activists, filmmakers and artists have written an open letter to Prime Minister&nbsp;Narendra Modi. Among the signatories are eminent directors Adoor Gopalkrishnan, Shyam Benegal, Mani Ratnam, Anurag Kashyap and actors Aparna Sen, Konkona Sensharma and Riddhi Sen.
The letter urges PM Modi to take action against the perpetrators of such mob lynchings. The artists said that even though Modi had criticised such lynchings, it wasn&rsquo;t enough. &ldquo;If life imprisonment without parole can be the sentence in cases of murder, why not for lynchings, which are even more heinous? No citizen should live in fear in his/her own country,&rdquo; the letter read.
