At least eighteen persons have been arrested in connection with the lynching incident in Dimapur even as protests against the killing continued to rock many parts of Assam today.

Police said the arrests were made after going through the mobile video clippings of the incident. Protests against the lynching were reported from different parts of Assam, including Karimganj, and a strict vigil was being maintained to prevent any untoward incident.

The body of rape accused Syed Farid Khan was taken to his home town of Karimganj in Assam yesterday after it was handed over by Nagaland authorities. Khan had been arrested on charge of raping a woman in Dimapur on February 24 and remanded to judicial custody in the Dimapur Central Jail the next day.
