A wife was tied to a giant tree. Dozens of men, women and children watched helplessly as the local “film” unfolded.
The husband, armed with a leather belt, beat his wife…one, two, three, four to 100 times.
She gnashed her teeth but the public could not help her as she was crying profusely.
The woman was flogged 100 times by her husband following a ‘kangaroo court’ ruling that she was guilty of adultery.
The beating, which took place in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh near Delhi in India, saw the unidentified woman becoming unconscious.
The 73-second video shot on a mobile phone shows a saree-clad woman’s hands tied to an overhead branch of a tree while she is beaten with a leather belt by a man in a green shirt and a jacket.
Hauntingly, the woman can be heard screaming in pain after each hit.
She was reportedly sexually assaulted by members of the crowd while she was unconscious.
A large crowd of men were seen standing in a circle to watch the beating and some of them could be heard criticising the woman.
Indian police say three people involved in organising the attack, including the woman’s husband and son, have been arrested. (Mirror)
