Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu offers Rs 5 lakh aid for Kerala lynching victim’s family

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai has announced an assistance of Rs 5 lakh for the family of a migrant worker from the state who was killed in a mob lynching incident in Kerala.

Ramnarayan Baghel (31), a resident of Karhi village in Chhattisgarh’s Sakti district, was allegedly beaten to death on December 17 after being accused of involvement in theft at Kizhakeattappallam of Palakkad district in the southern state.

Describing the incident as



unfortunate and inhuman, Sai, in a post on ‘X’ on Monday night, said, “I am deeply saddened by the unfortunate and extremely inhumane incident that occurred with Ramnarayan Baghel, a migrant worker from Chhattisgarh, in Palakkad, Kerala. 

Such violence against any innocent citizen is a disgrace to civilised society.” He urged the Kerala government to ensure the strictest legal action against those involved in this heinous crime, so that such inhuman incidents don’t recur.
