A 23-year-old man died in hospital on Sunday, a week after he was beaten by unidentified people in Kolkata, West Bengal's Jhargram district.
This is the third death in a mob attack in West Bengal after two other similar incidents in Kolkata and nearby Salt Lake on June 28 and 29.
On June 22, Saurabh Sao was found lying injured on a road in Jamboni area near Jhargram city and was taken to a local hospital. He died on Sunday.
Police registered a case against unknown persons on June 27 based on a complaint lodged by Sao's family.
However, his family members alleged that he was attacked by a group of people employed by a contractor, who alleged that Sau had tried to steal parts of an earthmover parked on the roadside.
The deceased's mother claimed that her son had gone for some work on a two-wheeler and was resting under a tree while returning. An earthmover machine was standing nearby.
The incident was preceded by deadly attacks on two youths accused of stealing mobile phones in Kolkata and nearby Salt Lake on June 28 and 29 respectively.
A man named Prasen Mandal died after being beaten by a group of people in Salt Lake area on Saturday. When taken to the hospital, the doctors declared him dead.
On Friday, Irshad Alam was beaten to death in a government student hostel in Kolkata's Bowbazar area.
Municipal Affairs and Urban Development Minister Firhad Hakim earlier told reporters that "mass hysteria can be countered only through mass consultation."
Union minister and BJP state president Sukant Majumdar criticized the TMC government, alleging that it has failed to control such crimes.
