Instead of handing him over immediately to security operatives, some angry youths allegedly subjected the man to humiliation and physical abuse.
In the viral footage shared on social media, the suspect was seen surrounded by a crowd while being forced toward a dirty drainage channel.

The situation later escalated as the man was allegedly forced to drink water from the gutter while others recorded the scene with their phones.
The incident has sparked mixed reactions online. While some people defended the actions of the mob out of frustration over increasing crime in many communities, others strongly condemned the act, describing it as inhumane and dangerous.
Human rights advocates have repeatedly warned against jungle justice, stressing that suspects should be handed over to the police for proper investigation and prosecution. Legal experts also note that mob actions can sometimes lead to the punishment of innocent people without evidence or fair hearing.
Security agencies have continued to advise residents against taking the law into their own hands, no matter the situation. They warn that assaulting suspects can lead to serious injuries, loss of life, and possible legal consequences for those involved.
