Per Wikipedia:Notability#Events. Looks like a usual news-event to me. I see problem with
WP:GNG. Yes, one man died because of lynching by Muncipality employees. And it got some coverage in media. But what is that so notable to have an encyclopedia article for this? Neither the motive, nor the aftermath has any notable worth. Tyler Durden (talk) 21:13, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

- Keep It is a no brainer. Google news already has over 1000 news items devoted to this. The Hindu nationalist chief minister of Rajasthan has moreover made it more newsworthy by tweeting controversially notable things after the murder of a Muslim Indian man in Pratapgarh. It is related to another major problem in north India: open defecation. I don't need to go on. The AfD is a waste of time. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 15:28, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Continued coverage. Also, this is a lynching by "municipal officials", something that is most certainly notable. RileyBugz会話投稿記録 21:27, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
