Eight people, including the husband of a 21-year-old tribal woman who was allegedly stripped naked and paraded in a village in Rajasthan’s Pratapgarh district, have been detained, police said on Saturday.
The incident, caught on camera, was widely criticised by various political leaders.
In a statement, DGP Umesh Mishra said 10 people have been named in the FIR for molestation, thrashing the woman besides other relevant sections.
Of these, eight, including the main accused, have been detained, it said.
He said the victim lodged a complaint against her husband Kanha Gameti along with Suraj, Beniya, Netiya, Nathu and Mahendra for forcibly taking her on a motorcycle and parading her naked.
Initial investigation revealed that the woman was in a relationship with another man, said Dhariyawad SHO Peshawar Khan
