A Dalit woman was allegedly stripped, brutally assaulted, and forced to drink urine by a father-son duo in India’s Bihar on Saturday night, after she refused their demands for more money despite having repaid a loan.
The woman sustained serious head injuries and was admitted to the hospital in critical condition, where she is currently undergoing treatment.
According to the police, the accused, Pramod Singh, his son Anshu, and four other associates, went to the Dalit woman’s house on Saturday night around 10 pm and forcibly took her to their house.
She was brutally assaulted, stripped naked, and beaten severely with sticks. Pramod Singh then instructed his son to urinate in the woman’s mouth.

However, the victim managed to escape and returned to her home.
According to the complaint, the woman had borrowed Rs 1,500 on interest from Pramod Singh a few months ago and had returned the money with interest. Nevertheless, the accused continued to demand more money from her, which she refused to provide.
Pramod had threatened the woman, saying they would make her wander around the village naked if she didn’t give them more money.
It is alleged that the woman had previously informed the police about the threats, but no action was taken.
