A week after an angry mob broke into the Dimapur Central Jail and lynched a man accused of rape in public, the Nagaland government on Wednesday told the Ministry of HomeAffairs that the alleged victim was never raped.

Earlier, Nagaland IGP Wabang Jamir said the victims medical examination did not indicate rape. The report however said she had scratch marks on her thumb and some minor injuries on her body.

Reports of the alleged rape first appeared on social media. The mob had overpowered jail security, tied up the man and dragged him for seven kilometres, thrashing him along the way. By the end, he succumbed to his injuries.
