In Karnataka’s Belagavi, a woman faced horrifying brutality when the family of a girl, who had eloped with her son, stormed into their home on Sunday night. The incident, which involved stripping the woman naked, tying her to a pole, and physically assaulting her, garnered swift reactions from Chief Minister Siddaramiah and Home Minister G Parameshwara.
According to the police, the girl’s family reacted violently upon learning about their daughter’s elopement with the woman’s son. They forcefully dragged the woman out, stripped her, tied her to a pole, and assaulted her.
Expressing his dismay, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah condemned the incident, vowing strict action against the perpetrators, stating, “Our government is unwavering. Regardless of the offense, stringent actions will be taken against those involved in such crimes.” He emphasized that such inhumane acts won’t be tolerated.
ಬೆಳಗಾವಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಹಿಳೆಯೊಬ್ಬರನ್ನು ಬೆತ್ತಲೆಗೊಳಿಸಿ, ಕಂಬಕ್ಕೆ ಕಟ್ಟಿಹಾಕಿ ಹಲ್ಲೆ ನಡೆಸಿರುವುದು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಅಮಾನವೀಯ. ಇದರಿಂದ ಇಡೀ ಸಮಾಜವೇ ತಲೆತಗ್ಗಿಸುವಂತಾಗಿದೆ. ಇಂತಹ ಹೀನ ಕೃತ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ನಮ್ಮ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಯಾವುದೇ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕೂ ಸಹಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
ಪ್ರಕರಣದ ಸಂಬಂಧ ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಹಲವರನ್ನು ಬಂಧಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ತಪ್ಪಿತಸ್ಥರಿಗೆ ಕಠಿಣ ಶಿಕ್ಷೆಯಾಗುವಂತೆ…
