DNA: Is mob lynching `justified` in Punjab?

Two cases of sacrilege have been reported in Punjab in the last two days. The first case came from the Golden Temple in Amritsar and the second came from a gurdwara in Kapurthala. At both places, the accused were thrashed to death by a furious mob. In these cases, everyone is talking about hurting religious sentiments, but no one is talking about lynching.
