The government has set up a four-member committee headed by Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba to suggest measures and legal framework to effectively deal with incidents of mob violence and lynching, the Home Ministry said on Monday.

The panel will submit its recommendations to a ministerial committee, headed by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, which will submit its recommendations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
