WOMEN BEATEN, STRIPPED BY IN-LAWS; WALKED NAKED TO POLICE STATION; PEOPLE CLICK PHOTOS

A woman from Rajasthan's Churu was allegedly thrashed by in-laws and her clothes were torn off on Sunday. She walked naked to the police station to report the matter, reports NDTV.

Police said that instead of helping the woman, onlookers took photographs of her on their mobile phones.  As per the police, the victim was allegedly tortured by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law after a verbal fight and they stripped her.

The victim alleged that she was continuously tortured by her in-laws in the recent past in the absence of her husband. Unable to bear, the woman decided to report the torture and walked to the police station without clothes.

A senior police officer said, "A woman from Churu was beaten up by her in-laws and they even tore her clothes. She came to the police station in a naked state. She is under police protection and an FIR has been registered. While on her way to the station, some people clicked her pictures. The matter is being probed."

"If pictures are found and if they have been made viral, in both the cases, appropriate legal action will be taken against those involved," the official was quoted as telling ANI. According to the police, the victim's husband is in Assam and is a daily wage labourer.
