Tura, June 26: All five men involved in the public flogging of a woman at Lower Teksagre village under Damal Asim Police Station in Dadenggre have been nabbed by West Garo Hills police on Wednesday night.
While two of the attackers were picked up from Lower Teksragre village itself on Wednesday afternoon, three other men, who were part of the group who assaulted the woman in the video, had fled from home.
On Wednesday night, the three men surrendered before police at Jengjal Police Station and are being brought back to Tura to stand trial.
A video had gone viral on Wednesday, in which a young woman was being subjected to a public flogging in a medieval style of punishment. Atleast four men were seen mercilessly raining blows on the woman, pulling her hair violently, assaulting her continuously with bamboo sticks onto her back, showing no remorse or sympathy even as she cries and begs for the beating to stop.
The incident took place on Tuesday (June 25, 2024), but came to light when the video went viral on social media on Wednesday. It has drawn sharp backlash from the public, especially given the state’s high regard for women.
