Guwahati: Two persons including a woman have been lynched and set on fire by an angry mob over suspicion of practicing witchcraft in Assam.

On the third day after Gour’s death, another girl in the village headman’s house also accused the duo of performing ‘black magic’ on her, causing her illness.
