Dalit Woman Stripped Naked, Urinated Upon Over Rs 1,500 Loan In Bihar

A Dalit woman was allegedly stripped, assaulted and urinated on her mouth by a moneylender and his associates in Bihar’s Patna district apparently for complaining to the police about his “unjustified” demand for more money even after full repayment of the debt, an officer said on Monday.

The key accused, Pramod Singh and his son Anshu Singh, are absconding, a police officer said adding that a manhunt has been launched to arrest them.

The injured victim, who is under treatment in a hospital, claimed that she had to bear this torture despite paying off the borrowed money with interest.
