Guwahati, Jun 26 (TOI): In yet another instance of moral policing in Assam, a man and a woman were allegedly confined and beaten up on Saturday by villagers in Assam’s Nagaon district for having an “illicit affair”.
“Residents of Jhumurmur village physically assaulted Devi Barua and Ubed Ullah and confined them in a house. After receiving information, a police team from the Kathiatoli outpost rushed to the spot and rescued the victims,” Assam Police said in a statement.
The police on Monday arrested eight people in the case. “ A few more arrests are likely,” Nagaon SP Shankar Barata Raimedhi told TOI.
