A man died after he was beaten up by a mob on suspicion of being a child molester.

The deceased, Mohammad Faisal, was beaten up on February 3. He was admitted to a hospital after the incident, and was declared dead on Thursday.

According to reports, Faisal's neighbour Aslam Ansari's three-year-old daughter had gone out with the former at about 11 am on February 3.

Later, Ansari was informed that Faisal had left his daughter somewhere. Ansari reached the spot and found his daughter, but on his way back home, he saw a mob beating Faisal.

Faisal was tied to an electricity pole, and people around him were hitting him.

People were heard saying that he was a child lifter and should be killed.

Faisal was later rushed to the hospital. The police later arrested two people in connection with the crime.

Ansari informed the police that Faizal was mentally challenged.

Meanwhile, Faizal's family blamed the hospital administration for discharging him despite of his critical condition.

An investigation is underway.
