Lucknow : A criminal was lynched by a mob in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr district after being caught sneaking into a house, police said on Friday.
Sanjay Pal, 34, who had nearly seven cases of attempt-to-murder, abduction and robbery against him, was Thursday beaten to death by the locals in Jahangirabad town, some 400 km from Lucknow.
