Two days after Asok Das was killed in a suspected mob lynching in Kerala's Muvattupuzha, the police arrested at least 10 people under murder charges, NDTV reported.

The 24-year-old Das was a migrant worker from Arunachal Pradesh and fell into trouble when he allegedly created a ruckus outside the house of a former woman colleague.

Das was living in a rented house in Muvattupuzha's Valakam. On Thursday night, he went near Valakom junction where he was tied to a pole by a mob after allegedly creating a ruckus.
