The discussion is on the historical background of mob lynching in India and how it has recently increased as a result of mob violence and the dissemination of false information on social media platforms. We need better policies and governing statutes and regulations to mitigate and prevent the "horrendous act of mobocracy�. Mob lynching is a very serious threat to established social order and belief in the rule of law. The research paper also dealt with scenarios within other countries relating to such crimes. The responses of the judiciary and parliament of India have also been discussed. Today, lynching is being carried out in an organised manner, like a parallel judicial system. In Indian society, "vigilantism� was prevailing, but this type of apparent authority was never granted to the offenders in the real sense. The main objective of the research paper is to understand the historical background, study the reasons behind the increasing incidents of mob lynching, and also study the constitutional and human rights perspective of lynching. This research work may contribute in measure to a better understanding of this most serious and difficult problem, which is the hope with which it is placed in the hands of the reader. Briefly, this research paper also delves into the social, economic, and political effects of lynching on the victims and their immediate relatives. Overall, this paper highlights the urgent need to address the issue of mob lynching in India from a human rights perspective, with a focus on the constitutional framework and international human rights standards.
