BHOPAL: Police prevented an Assam-lynching rerun in Balaghat on Sunday night when they saved two men from being beaten to death over a WhatsApp rumour that organ thieves from outside were on the prowl.A grisly video has been going around Balaghat, Seoni, Chhindwara and Dindori districts of MP and Rajnandgaon of neighbouring Chhattisgarh for the past three weeks, showing organs being removed from a man while he is still alive. Police suspect it's a torture training video of a terrorist organisation. It has struck terror in these parts with people in villages afraid to step out after dark, fearing they will be abducted by the organ mafia and killed in a barbaric manner.On Sunday evening, a rumour that two kidney thieves were on the prowl spread like wildfire in Balaghat. People of Newar village - around 14km from Balaghat town - spotted two 'outsiders' in a jeep. They dragged them out and started beating them, ignoring their pleas that they were from a village in the same district and had come to visit a relative - just the way it happened in Assam's Karbi Anglong last week. Their jeep was torched. However, police were on alert and were on the scene within minutes.
