Rajasthan horror: husband arrested for beating, stripping, parading wife on camera

Rajasthan Police on 2nd September arrested three people, including the husband, accused of beating and stripping a woman publicly and recording the act on camera in Pratapgarh district.

The arrest came after a 21-year-old woman was publicly beaten and stripped allegedly by her husband and his family members.

According to the police, the woman was allegedly in a relationship with another man, which triggered the attack on her.

Director General of Police (DGP) Umesh Mishra said the in-laws of the woman kidnapped her and took her to their village where the incident took place. Her in-laws were annoyed as she was staying with another man, he said.

On the direction of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, DGP Mishra sent ADG (Crime) Dinesh MN to Pratapgarh on Friday night. The video showed a man stripping a woman in front of people and parading her naked in a village of the district.

The incident purportedly took place on 31 August 2023, PTI said.
