Two held as woman forced to lick spit, paraded in Nalanda
BIHARSHARIF: Police on Saturday arrested two people – Arun Kumar and Satyadev Prasad – on charges of cutting the hair of a widow, forcing her to lick spit and parading her in the village after accusing the woman of stealing their goats. The incident occurred at Balia Bigha village under the Rahui police station area in Nalanda district on Friday.
Police swung into action after a video of the crime went viral on the social media.
A police complaint was lodged against Arun, Satyadev and 12 other villagers. The police have also arrested the woman on charges of stealing goats.
SHO of Rahui police station Swaraj Kumar said the complaint against the woman was lodged by Arun. “Arun said in his complaint that they caught the woman when she was taking his three goats on Friday,” the SHO said.
The woman has, however, refuted the allegation of theft against her. The woman told the police that she was taking rest under a tree outside the village when some locals thrashed her with bamboo sticks, cut her hair, paraded her in the village and forced her to lick spit.
