Stolen Is Based On Assam's Real-Life Incident

Nilotpal Das and Abhijit Nath were two guys traveling in the Karbi Anglong area of Assam on June 8, 2018. A WhatsApp rumoUr concerning child traffickers began to circulate among the locals at the same time. There was a report that kidnappers were active in the area. The locals attacked these two individuals because they thought so.

The locals dragged Niloptal and Abhijit out of their car and beat them to death with sticks and stones, even though they begged in front of the mob and made a valiant effort to prove their innocence. In addition, the assailants captured the horrific event on camera, and the horrific and distressing footage went viral, igniting a nationwide outrage.

The victims' families are still waiting for justice, despite the fact that up to 36 persons were arrested in the case.
