The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) issued notice to the Bihar government on Wednesday over an incident in which a group of men reportedly shaved the head of a tribal woman on suspicion of adultery.
The incident took place in the Raniganj area of Araria district on September 8. The villagers did not just shave the woman’s head but also made a video of the act which went viral on social media.
The NHRC said that the incident raises a serious issue of violation of human rights, which is a matter of concern.
