Two men ask for directions, get beaten to death by mob as fake WhatsApp video sparks

The problem with fake news...

Quote:

Two men have been beaten to death by an angry mob in the Indian state of Assam because of false rumours spread on social media about child kidnapping gangs. The pair had stopped to ask for directions when they were killed; their deaths filmed by attackers who then shared the gory videos online. One of the victims, 29-year-old musician Nilotpal Das, can be seen covered in blood and pleading for his life.
