The man has been identified as Ranjit Bordoloi.
The incident that took place in the Bor Lalung area of Nagaon district came to light only after the police had launched a search operation to find Bordoloi.
According to reports, a few villagers claimed that the man was burned alive and the body was buried later.
Police sources said on Saturday that Bordoloi was suspected to have killed a woman in the village earlier.
"A woman identified as Sabita Pator died under unnatural circumstances a few days back. The local village kangaroo court took up the matter in which Bordoloi reportedly admitted to killing the woman," a police source said.
"Subsequently, an angry mob burnt him to death," the source added.
Nagaon Superintendent of Police Leena Doley told IANS: "We have found the dead body. The circumstances which led to the incident are being investigated."
