Pictures have emerged of a leading Indian politician being beaten by villagers after allegedly molesting a woman in her home at 2am.
Congressman for Assam’s ruling party Congress, Bikram Singh Brahma, allegedly raped a woman at Santipura village in lower Assam’s Chirang district before being caught by villagers today.
It is another shocking sex crime against a woman in a country that is trying to come to terms with the gang rape and death of a 23-year-old student last week, for which six men currently face trial.
