BSP president Mayawati expressed serious concerns on Wednesday over mob-lynching incidents in Uttar Pradesh targeting women in the name of child theft.

In a tweet, she said, "In Uttar Pradesh, mob lynching in its new frightening form is targeting innocent women. There is terror among the people because of innocent women being harassed/murdered on charges of child theft. It would be better if the state government takes strict legal action against such wrong elements."
