Bhopal: A woman was pulled out from her home and paraded in half-naked position for hours by a group of men hailing from a family in Madhya Pradesh’s Satna district, police said on Monday.
The shameful act of men was executed in revenge on broad daylight, more ironically, people of the village (Khera village where incident took place on Saturday) witnessed the helpless woman being paraded and abused on street as mute spectators.
The village, where this incident happend, falls under Maihar Police station in Satna district, around 500 km from the state capital Bhopal. Three persons, who have been identified as Rishi Patel, Shivkumar Patel and Mahendra Patel, on Saturday barged into the woman’s house, pulled her out and started parading her naked while abusing her.
As per the police, the accused (Patel family) did it in revenge of a police complaint made against them by the woman few days back.
