Woman Stripped, Paraded Naked On Donkey In Indian Village by fixa(m): 4:37pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
Sweta Dhankar, India’s District Police Chief, on Tuesday, said 30 villagers have been arrested for allegedly stripping a woman and parading her naked on a donkey in an Indian village to humiliate her. The police officer said in New Delhi that the Council of Elders in the village in Rajasthan state ordered the punishment after she was accused of killing her 45-year-old nephew. Dhankar said the cause of the man's death was not clear as his body was cremated before authorities could examine it, but circumstantial evidence pointed to suicide. He said some of the man's relatives later accused the aunt of killing him. Dhankar said a large group of villagers dragged the woman out of her house, stripped her, blackened her face with charcoal and paraded her through the village on a donkey. He said the woman's husband filed a complaint and police arrested 30 villagers, including nine relatives of the dead man. He added that "they are now in police custody and are being questioned. "The woman is quite traumatised, at first, we sent her to a shelter for counselling, later we asked her to tell the police her own side of the story before resettling her at her parents' house in another village.’’ The police chief said it was not uncommon in Indian villages for women suspected of practicing witchcraft or having extramarital affairs to be punished by being stripped and paraded around, especially in tribal areas. He said "sometimes, they are humiliated for other reasons such as unpaid loans and children eloping with partners from different castes.’’ Dhankar said village councils have no legal powers in India, but in many communities, they still mete out such punishments.
