    Akku Yadav
    Bharat Kalicharan, alias Akku Yadav, was a 32-year-old alleged rapist and murderer in India who, on August 13,
    2004, was lynched by a mob of around 200 women from Kasturba Nagar. Yadav was stabbed over seventy times,
    and chili powder and stones were thrown in his face. One of his alleged victims also hacked off his penis. This
    lynching occurred in Nagpur district court, on the marble floor of the courtroom. The women who killed him
    claimed that Yadav had been raping and abusing local women with impunity for over a decade, and that the local
    police had refused to help his victims or pursue charges as Yadav was allegedly bribing them. Yadav had also
    reportedly murdered at least three people and dumped their bodies on the railroad tracks. The lynching reportedly
    occurred when Yadav spotted a woman he had raped and called her a prostitute, enraging the crowd.
    Five women were immediately arrested but released following demonstrations in the city. Every woman living in the
    local slum has claimed responsibility for the lynching. Usha Narayane, a local activist, was arrested and charged
    with murder, as were other women. The trial is currently underway.
