People in India in the closed community tend to take matters into their hands and make weird punishments which can become news. In a new case,a 23-year-old married woman was humiliated publicly by a mob at a village in Dahod district for her extra-marital affair.

She was not only shorn off her clothes by her husband’s relatives but was also thrashed and forced to carry her husband on her shoulders.

The woman, a resident of the Khajuri village of the Dhanpur taluka, had eloped with a man with whom she had an affair. The woman’s husband and his family came to know of the incident and brought the woman back to the village.

According to the complaint filed by the woman, after being brought to the village, she has pushed around and beaten up. The accused used sticks to beat her and also tore and removed her clothes. She was abused and threatened by the villagers.

The incident that took place on July 6 came to light only on Monday when a video of the episode went viral. The police began investigations and ascertained that the incident had taken place in the Khajuri village.

Deputy superintendent of police Kanan Desai told media persons that 19 accused involved in the incident had been named in the offence. She added that 11 of them had been held by the police in connection with the offence.

A medical examination was also conducted on the woman after registering her complaint.

In May this year, a similar incident had come to light in the neighbouring Panchmahal district. A couple was tied to a tree and beaten up in Khilodi village of Ghoghamba taluka in the district over suspicion of a love affair.
