A 30-year-old tribal woman was subjected to torture and paraded by a mob that included her husband and in-laws, over a suspected extra-marital affair in Madhya Pradesh’s Dewas on Sunday.
In full public glare, the woman was partially disrobed, hit with belt and thrashed by family and fellow villagers in the Borpadav village, where she resides. She was even garlanded with footwear and made to walk carrying her husband on her shoulders.
A large crowd witnessed the incident but did not intervene. Instead, some even cheered those torturing the woman while heckling her and shot the whole episode on phone. The video later went viral. Not just the woman but her purported lover, Hari Singh Bhilala, was humiliated too and was garlanded with footwear. Video clips that surfaced also showed a man dragging the woman by her hair.
