A 30-year-old Bengaluru woman was thrashed by her neighbours at Narayan Rao Colony near Sriramapura after she advised them to not waste water collected from the public tap.
According to a TOI report, the victim, identified as Bhanupriya, told police that she was punched, kicked and hit with a cricket bat by a group of 10 people on October 25. The woman filed a complaint three days later as she was undergoing treatment for her injuries, she told police.
On October 25 at around 4:30 pm, Bhanupriya noticed that her neighbours were wasting water while fetching it from a public tap in the colony. She advised three women, Anu, Priyadarshini and Shalini not to do so, following which, an argument ensued between them. The tri abused Bhanupriya saying who was she to advise them.
Passersby intervened but the matter didn’t end there. According to Bhanupriya, when she was alone at her home around 9:30 pm, a group of 10 people, including men and women, called her out of the house and assaulted her.
She was punched in the face, pushed on the road, kicked in the abdomen multiple times and was even beaten by a cricket bat.
A senior police officer stated that a case has been registered in the matter and a few suspects have been detained.
In a similar incident in September 2023, a woman in Delhi’s Maideen Garhi was thrashed by her two sisters-in-law over not giving Rs 21,000 as shagun money on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan.
The incident took place when the sisters of the woman’s husband had come over to their house to tie rakhi to their brother. An argument broke out between the woman and her sisters-in-law over the latter’s demand of Rs 21,000 for each of them from their brother as shagun for rakhi. Eventually, the sisters allegedly beat up the woman for not receiving the money.
