This distressing incident is reminiscent of a similar tragedy that occurred in October last year in Machar Colony. Two employees of a telecom company were brutally killed by an enraged mob, falsely believing them to be dacoits. The victims had been sent to check the signals of the cellular network in the area, but sadly, they were met with aggression instead.
In light of these incidents, there is a pressing need to prioritize public safety and create awareness campaigns to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. The authorities must work diligently to improve vigilance and ensure the safety of innocent individuals who fall victim to mistaken identities.
