This 20-year-old woman has been left fighting for her life in hospital today after a kangaroo court in India ordered her to be gang-molested for having an affair with a youth from another village. The brutal punishment was allegedly carried out by the very same ‘court’ which found her guilty in a village near Suri in west Bengal state, 150 miles from Kolkata.
DailyMail reports that, last Monday afternoon, a group of tribal men found the woman sitting with her lover, who is from Chowhatta village and of a different religion. They dragged the two of them to a religious place known as a ‘than’ where a makeshift court was hastily put together on the orders of the tribal chieftan. Police said that the youth was told to pay a fine of £245 and warned that if he did not pay, men from the village would ‘have fun with the girl.’
With no money forthcoming, the woman was allegedly tied to a tree before she was forced into a shed and molested continuously until Tuesday morning.
