Bharat Kalicharan Yadav (known as Akku) was brought into a courtroom in Maharashtra, India, in August of 2004 for the purpose of setting bail. Before any procedure could begin, dozens of women rushed to Yadav and began attacking him. He was stabbed more than 70 times, and parts of his body were cut off. Chili powder was forced into his face and mouth. And all this was after he had gone to the police for protection.
Yadav had terrorized the poor neighborhood for 13 years by then. He had killed at least three people and raped more than 40 women and girls as young as ten. Yadav led a gang and paid off police. He had been arrested 13 times prior to the deadly attack, but had walked free each time. The mob attack was the culmination of years of abuse on an entire community. But now what? When the judge regained order, he asked who had attacked Yadav, and every woman in the courtroom raised her hand. After years of investigation, 21 people were charged in Yadav’s death.
