In a disturbing incident that unfolded in a village within Saria police station area in Giridih district, Jharkhand, a 26-year-old woman was subjected to a horrifying ordeal after being thrashed, stripped, and tied to a tree. The attack was carried out by four individuals, including her lover, his father, mother, and step-mother, allegedly as a consequence of her involvement in a love affair.
According to Bagodar Sub-divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Naushad Alam, the victim had a romantic relationship with a man from the village. However, his father and his two wives hatched a sinister plan to punish the woman for her involvement with their son. They convinced the man to invite her to his residence on Wednesday night, as reported by PTI.
