The attackers late Wednesday saw the victim, Ramu Gujjar, seated near the funeral pyre of a man killed in an accident a day earlier.
"Ramesh Rohila had been cremated Wednesday. Some of his relatives saw Ramu sitting near his pyre late at night" in Rampura village, 170 km from here, a police officer told IANS.
"They thought he was doing some witchcraft. They took him to their house and tied him to a tree and severely beat him up."
Gujjar's family found his body Thursday morning and contacted the police.
