LUCKNOW: Two brothers allegedly dragged a woman out of her house, stripped her and paraded her at Ambaur village in Barabanki, about 30 km from Lucknow. The men were joined by their wives in torturing the woman on Monday. This was the fallout of an old family feud. The police went to the village on Tuesday afternoon after they were faced by a barrage of questions by reporters.
The police said Nand Kishore Tiwari and his brother Ram Deo tore off the woman's clothes but denied that she was stripped. The Tiwaris have a feud with the family of Ram Sumairin Gupta who allegedly eloped with Kriparam Tiwari's wife and married her about a year ago. The woman is the wife of Gupta's brother.
There have been frequent altercations leading to fist fights and clashes.
On Monday evening, Kriparam's brothers Nand Kishore and Ram Deo accompanied by wives went to Ram Sumairin's house. Armed with sticks, rods and country made guns, they barged into the house looking for Ram Sumairin and his wife. When they did not find the couple, the Tiwaris assaulted Ram Sumairin's brother Badri Prasad who managed to flee.
The accused then dragged Badri's wife out of the house beat her with sticks and rods for about an hour while their wives allegedly tore off her clothes. They fled after the village pradhan's husband, Purshottam Rawat, rushed to the spot with a group of villagers.
Villagers clothed the woman and took her to a doctor. Her family members lodge an FIR at the local police station. Instead of taking action, police officers on duty asked the complainant to wait for the officer-in-charge (OC) to arrive. Late on Monday night, the OC of the police station met the complainant, reports said.Link: Women stripped, paraded naked in Barabanki
