In a video which has gone viral on social media, it can be seen that the woman is chased by a mob of men with sticks where one man beats her up with a stick. The audacity and lack of fear of law can be seen as to how the entire incident was shamelessly being captured on camera.
As per reports, the incident took place on Saturday in Madhya Pradesh’s Alirajpur but the police has not yet registered a case. According to Jobat Sub Divisional Officer of Police R C Bhakar, the police has started investigation after the incident came to light. He said that the victim and her father were not in the village and hence their statements could not be recorded.
According to police, the woman belongs to Bhilala community and was in love with a man from Bheel community. The family and community members were enraged by this inter-caste love affair and decided to ‘punish’ her by parading her and beating her up with sticks.
