In Madhya Pradesh’s Guna district, a tribal woman was beaten up with sticks and forced to walk for 3 kilometres while carrying a boy on her shoulders as a punishment by her husband and in-laws for living with her second husband.
Sirsi Police Station area of the district registered the case against her husband, father-in-law, brother-in-law, and a relative for voluntarily causing hurt, abusing, and criminal intimidation.
“The woman had recently separated from her husband by mutual consent. She was living with another man for the past one month. But her husband’s family felt offended and abducted her on February 9. They forced her to carry a teenager on her shoulders and paraded her for 3km. The woman filed a complaint,” said Rajesh Kumar Mishra, Guna police superintendent.
The locals made a video of the incident instead of helping the victim, which has gone viral on social media.
