Dalit woman thrashed

SURAT: The hair of a dalit woman was cut and she was thrashed by two women and two men for her alleged affair with a member of their family.


Four days ago in another incident, a woman's head had been shaved at Palsana for similar reason, police said, adding that the four accused were arrested and produced in a local court here on Thursday.

The victim Sangita Solanki, a resident of Chhappan Ni Chawl, was kidnapped by Rajesh Kahar, Kamlesh Kahar, their sister Anita and mother Kamla from Sagarampura on Tuesday when she was returning home after finishing work.

They took her to a nearby place where they allegedly thrashed her before cutting her hair with a pair of scissors. The accused also injured her with a blade, police said.

The victim was later released and had to be taken to a hospital, whose officials informed the police. A complaint in the case was lodged on Wednesday.

Sangita has claimed that she was attacked by members of Kahar family out of suspicion that she was having an illicit affair with Anita's husband, police said.
