A woman in Meghalaya was beaten with sticks by a group of men after she was accused of having an extra-marital affair.

In a video going viral of the incident, which took place in Dadenggre in West Garo Hills, the woman can be seen being brutally assaulted in public. 

The video showed several men and women being muted spectators. 

The police have arrested five persons after a case was registered under the relevant sections.

According to the police, the accused alleged that the woman was having an extra-marital affair.

Meanwhile, Santa Mary Shylla, the Sutnga Saipung MLA who is the Chairperson of the Meghalaya Assembly Committee on Women Empowerment, took note of the incident and sought a report from the police.

She said she would also ask the Superintendent of Police of all the 12 districts of Meghalaya to remain alert against any type of crime against women.

CBI custody was granted for three days in the Delhi excise policy case. The court did not find the arrest illegal based on witness statements. Despite CBI’s claims, I denied knowledge of the policy and shifted blame to Manish Sisodia. The investigation continues with allegations of fabricated comments and the need to confront me with documents. CBI arrested Kejriwal during the hearing in court after the court allowed the agency to examine him and to produce documents for his arrest. The agency had sought five days of custody.
