woman-stripped-paraded-for-objectionable-remarks-on-deities

A shocking incident was reported in Maharashtra’s Ulhasnagar area of Thane district, where a woman was thrashed, stripped, and paraded around with a garland of slippers after she allegedly made objectionable remarks against the deities. Three people have been arrested by the Police, an official informed on Saturday.

 

Four persons allegedly involved in the incident, which took place on Thursday, are on the run and efforts are on to nab them, Central police station senior inspector Sunil Awtade said.

 

"The incident took place over a temple visit. The woman apparently made objectionable remarks about deities, which got a group of persons angry. CCTV footage that has gone viral on social media is being checked as part of the probe," he added.

 

The accused have been charged for voluntarily causing hurt, criminal intimidation, and intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace and other offences under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the official informed.
