“We today (Friday) arrested Rajveer, Munnu and Madan, who were primarily involved in the inhumane act,” police inspector S.K. Tyagi told reporters in Bijnor, some 300-km from Lucknow.
“They dragged me out of my house… assaulted me with sticks and also removed my clothes… I was forced to parade in that condition in several localities,” the widow, who is from a minority community, told reporters.
“I begged for help from other villagers, who just stood and watched the entire episode,” she added.
