Bhopal: In Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar city, a woman’s steadfast refusal to vacate an area reportedly led to a horrifying attack by several shopkeepers. This brutal incident unfolded on August 12, where a heart-wrenching video has since gone viral, leading to the arrest of four individuals involved.
The disturbing footage shows the woman sitting near a shop when a man forcibly drags her and she is quickly surrounded by a group of at least a dozen individuals.
Despite one man’s plea not to harm her, another proceeds to assault her, even kicking her in the face. Shockingly, another man joins in, striking the screaming woman with an iron rod.
