A woman and her husband were brutally assaulted on Monday after they resisted lewd comments made by a group of men in Uttar Pradesh’s Mainpuri District.
The incident took place at a busy marketplace in Kishani village, after the victim approached one of the accused and asked him about the location of a shop in the area. A verbal spat broke out between the two parties, after the accused reportedly asked her to come inside with him.
The accused hurled slangs and then even attacked the couple with sticks in broad day light. The ensuing mayhem left the woman bleeding profusely from the head. Police have now arrested several persons in connection with Monday’s incident.
