Two people taken for child lifters were thrashed in the Gopiganj police station area here on Tuesday, officials said.
In the first incident, labourer Shiv Kumar Yadav was beaten up at Beraspur village and was handed over police, Superintendent of Police Ram Badan Singh said.
In a similar incident, one Babbu Singh was beaten up at Sarai Jagdish when he tried to drag a seven year-old-girl, the SP said.
Police, which immediately rushed to the spot, managed to rescue Babbu Singh, who was admitted to a hospital for treatment.
The SP said Yadav was a labourer, who was going towards another village, while Babbu Singh was of unsound mind.
The SP has appealed to people not to pay any heed to rumours and hand over any suspicious person to police, instead of taking the law in their hands.
