Karva Chauth Drama: Villagers Catch Woman with Lover, Brutal Beating Goes Viral!
RAEBARELI, UTTAR PRADESH – In a shocking incident, a married woman from Raebareli invited her boyfriend home to break her Karva Chauth fast while her husband was away in another city. Villagers, who were suspicious of the woman's extramarital affair, caught the couple red-handed and subjected them to brutal punishment, binding them with ropes and assaulting them publicly. The incident has raised serious concerns about public humiliation and vigilante justice, as videos of the abuse have since gone viral on social media.
Caught in the Act
The incident took place in a village under the jurisdiction of the Deeh police station in Raebareli. According to local sources, the woman’s husband works in Gurgaon, leaving her alone at home. During his absence, she reportedly became involved in an affair with a young man from the same village. Villagers, who were aware of the relationship, kept a close watch on the couple, suspecting that they secretly met on several occasions.
On the night of Karva Chauth, after the woman had observed the traditional fast, she invited her lover to her home to break the fast. However, the villagers were prepared for this encounter and were waiting for the man to arrive. As soon as he entered the house, the villagers barged in and dragged the couple outside in an alleged compromising position.
Public Humiliation and Assault
The situation quickly escalated as the villagers tied the woman to a tree in the middle of the village and began to beat her. They hurled abuses at her, while some onlookers made videos of the incident. In these disturbing clips, the woman can be seen trying to cover herself with her clothing while the mob continues its assault. Her lover was tied up separately, with his hands and feet bound, and was also beaten severely.
What’s even more troubling is that some villagers attempted to pull the woman's clothing off during the assault, further humiliating her. The villagers also forced the boyfriend to crawl on the ground like an animal, adding to the horror of the incident.
Police Response and Viral Video
The videos of the brutal attack have gone viral, sparking outrage across social media. Despite the severity of the situation, local authorities have stated that they were unaware of the incident until the videos surfaced. The Circle Officer (CO) of the region confirmed that they had not received a formal complaint but would take strict action if one was filed.
Growing Concerns over Vigilante Justice
This incident highlights a growing issue in rural India, where vigilante justice is often meted out by villagers who take matters into their own hands. The public shaming and assault of the woman and her lover in Raebareli have drawn widespread condemnation, with many calling for immediate legal action against those involved in the assault.
As of now, no arrests have been made, but the police have promised to investigate the incident thoroughly and ensure justice is served. In the meantime, the viral videos continue to circulate, raising uncomfortable questions about the protection of individual rights and the dangers of mob violence in Indian society.
