In a horrifying incident in Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, a woman and mother of three was brutally "punished" by villagers after being accused of having an affair. The woman was tied to a tree, had her hair cut, and was subjected to further humiliation with soot smeared on her face and a garland of shoes placed around her neck. The abuse followed her husband's discovery of her alleged relationship with another man, which led her in-laws to hold a panchayat that sanctioned the harsh punishment. The disturbing incident came to light through a video that prompted immediate police action. A case has been registered against 25 individuals, with 17 arrested so far. Authorities are continuing their search to apprehend the remaining suspects.┬аUttar Pradesh Shocker: Teenager Tied to Pole, Beaten Over Alleged Theft in Hardoi; Disturbing Video Surfaces.
