The lynched woman had been arrested on Monday on suspicion of breaking into and setting fire to a house in which there were seven people inside including three children.
The woman had been questioned but had not yet been charged before the locals rampaged through the 73rd Interactive Police Department building to find her.
Civil Police said that the suspect had been taken to hospital to receive treatment and would be returned to a new police station with a secret location to avoid further attacks before questioning over the first incident could resume.
