As reported, the mob in Sultanganj caught hold of Jasia and Lulha, two criminals wanted by the Patna City police in several robbery cases, as they tried to escape by firing shots in the air. Using bricks, iron rods and other objects, the crowd beat both of them up resulting in their deaths.

An American pistol and three cartridges were recovered from the criminal's possession, the police said.
