In Kashipur village, Mayurbhanj district, Odisha, villagers tied two men and a woman to an electric pole and beat them over suspicions of an affair. Police rescued the victims and admitted them to a hospital.
Incident Details
The married woman, who has two children, had gone to the Jashipur weekly market with the two men on a motorbike. On their way back, her family saw them and confronted the group.
An argument broke out. The woman’s relatives accused her of having a relationship with one of the men. Villagers then restrained all three and beat them with sticks, punches, and kicks.
Family Relations and Community Tensions
Officials said one of the men was close to the woman’s in-laws, almost like a brother. Despite this, her paternal uncle and other villagers suspected an affair, which triggered the assault.
