Belagavi, 01 Mar

The video of a woman who was allegedly paraded nude around seven months ago has recently gone viral. 

Based on the complaint by the survivor's daughter, the police said on Thursday that they have taken up the case for investigation.

The incident occurred on 31 July, 2023 when the survivor and her son were beaten up by her rivals for questioning the encroachment of half an acre of land on the three acres of land allotted to her by the government.

The accused not only paraded her nude and beat up her family, but also threatened her with dire consequences if she complained.

Senior officers of Belagavi district administration have camped in the village to probe it further. This incident is a reminder of a similar one that took place in Vantamuri village in Belagavi district where a woman was attacked on 11 December, 2023 after her son eloped with a girl from his community.
