A total of 42 arrests have been made, many through the night on Sunday, in connection with the lynching of a rape-accused in Nagaland's Dimapur last week by a large mob that broke into a jail and dragged the man out.
Curfew has been lifted in the city from this morning but markets and schools remain shut. Internet and SMS services are still suspended across Nagaland, four days after videos of Syed Sarif Uddin Khan's lynching surfaced on the net.
On Thursday, thousands broke into the Dimapur Central Jail, dragged out Syed Sarif Uddin Khan, stripped him, beat him up, tied him to a motorcycle and dragged him for 7 km. He died on the way. The mob then hung his body at a roadside roundabout.
Questions have been raised about the rape complaint.
About 20 people had been arrested till Sunday evening, with the rest of the arrests made on Sunday night, as the police identified the attackers from the footage. Mr Khan's brother Jamal Khan alleged that most of his killers are still roaming free in Dimapur.
Widespread protests took place across Nagaland, and at Mr Khan's hometown Karimganj in neighbouring Assam, where his funeral was held on Sunday. Over 10,000 people attended the funeral.
