This incident has sparked mixed reactions online, with some condemning the act as degrading and others arguing it serves as a deterrent to crime.
Such forms of jungle justice have become a growing concern, as many argue they undermine the rule of law and often lead to excessive punishment. Authorities are yet to comment on the incident, and it remains unclear if the suspect was eventually handed over to law enforcement.
