Jaipur, Sept 2: Police reported on Saturday that seven persons had been arrested and four more had been detained after a 21-year-old tribal woman was allegedly paraded in a village in Rajasthan’s Pratapgarh district while completely naked. Several political leaders voiced harsh criticism of the incident, which was captured on camera.
“We have arrested seven men, including the husband of the accused, and four others have been detained in connection with the case,” Pratapgarh District Superintendent of Police Amit Kumar said.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is anticipated to meet the woman who is the victim, along with her family, in Dhariyawad, Pratapgarh. The woman was stripped down and paraded before the villagers in a video that went viral.
DGP Umesh Mishra previously stated that an FIR has been filed against 10 individuals for charges including molestation and assaulting the woman, along with other relevant sections. Among these, eight men, including the primary suspect, have been taken into custody.
He stated that after being forced onto a motorcycle and paraded while naked, the victim woman filed a complaint against her husband Kanha Gameti as well as Suraj, Beniya, Netiya, Nathu, and Mahendra.
“The main accused Kanha, Netiya, Beniya and Pintu and a minor have been detained apart from spectators of the crime Punia, Khetia and Motilal,” the police statement said earlier.
