Jammu, Sep 5 (PTI) Four persons have been arrested in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district in connection with a viral video which shows some men dragging a woman out of her house and thrashing her, officials said.
The incident took place in Kathua’s Dewal village last week, following which a complaint was lodged on Monday and the accused were nabbed a few hours later, they added.
The 3-minute video clip shows the woman being thrashed by some people after they dragged her by her hair out of her house. Her child can be seen crying in the video, the police said.
Editorial: On Women News, we often report public humiliation faced by women due to their actions of meeting or falling in love with or marrying someone the family or society disapproves. These are women’s personal choices. Our headlines are mindful of that and so, instead of a headline, “Woman Beaten For Meeting Outsiders”, our headline is “Woman Beaten For Personal Choices”.
