A mob here beat up a specially-abled man accusing him of stealing children from the Parsa Bazar locality here. However, police reached the spot and saved the man and got him admitted to the Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) on Friday.

"The investigation is still ongoing in the case. In the morning, we got a call stating that a crowd was beating up a man accused of stealing children. Police reached the spot and saved the man from the wrath of the public and admitted him to the PMCH for treatment," said Kiran Jadhav, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO).
