A suspected paedophile accused of trying to rape a 10-year-old girl was tied to a pole and brutally flogged by an angry mob.
The man, identified as Kushal Sharma, was left with deep cuts after the beating in northern India.
He is alleged to have tried to attack the young girl in a field in the village of Juliasar in Rajasthan.
His co-workers at a laundrette reportedly heard her screaming, and rushed out to rescue her.
A large group quickly formed and shaved Sharma's head and tore his shirt off before tying him up and thrashing him.

A video shows a young man flogging him on the torso and head with a length of rope, but reports in India claim he was also hit with electrical wire and sticks for around half an hour.
Sharma is also seen in the video being untied and then punched in the face.

By the time police arrived, it is claimed, the suspect and his family had disappeared from their home, and a criminal case has not been opened.
It is not clear from the video how the incident ended, and the whereabouts of Sharma and his family remain unknown.
