Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra termed the trial court's verdict acquitting all the six accused in the Pehlu Khan lynching case as "shocking" and hoped the Rajasthan government will do justice in the matter.

"The lower court's decision in the Pehlu Khan case is shocking. In our country, there should be no place of inhumanity and mob killing is a heinous crime," she wrote on her Twitter handle.
