A mob of around 200 villagers mocking all lockdown standards lynched three people, including two Hindu sadhus and a driver, in Palghar, Maharashtra on April 17. Reportedly, the three men were traveling from Nashik to Surat. However, on Thursday night they were lynched by the mob on the suspicion of being thieves.
Now, several Bollywood stars have taken to their social media accounts as they were left disgusted by the violence as videos started going viral on social media.
Anupam Kher, Farhan Akhtar, Sonakshi Sinha, Urmila Matondkar, Hansal Mehta and Shoojit Sircar.
#PalgharMobLynching displays humanity at its worst. Taking away someone's life is horrifying, irrespective of religion or occupation. These are times when we should be coming together to help the other and not wage wars. Hope Justice is served.

Strongly condemn the violence that took the lives of 3 people in Palghar. Mob rule should have no place in our society and I hope the murderers have been arrested and that justice is delivered swiftly.

#PalgharMobLynching is highly condemnable n inhuman. All d accused have already been arrested n will be brought to justice in strongest manner. But there’s certainly no need to communalise it. Humanity is at peril not any particular religion in such times. #Palghar

Extremely disturbing videos from Palghar being circulated. I hope the perpetrators are arrested and severely punished. Also perhaps @AltNews could do a check on what exactly has taken place there.
