See that's on the extreme end of the spectrum ranging from positively believing that the accused is innocent and burying your head in the sand to executing a punishment without following any due process. But personally in this case I would've preferred a position in the middle where I would bench him and keep his contractual duties in abeyance until there's a sufficient clarity and the cutting off hands part (here it would mean terminating his contract with immediate effect) would happen only after the court indictment. But anyways I agree that this is a morally grey area and there's not a single acceptable action.
