Baripada: In a case of moral policing, a kangaroo court allegedly tonsured a couple in full public glare at Mandua village in Mayurbhanj.
It came to light after a video capturing the entire incident, which took place on Saturday, went viral on Monday.
According to sources, the girl’s boyfriend had come to the village to meet her. When some villagers got to know that the boy belongs to another community, they caught hold of them and forcefully shaved their heads. Not just men, women are also seen thrashing the girl in the video.
The victims later lodged a complaint with Karanjia police. A case has been registered on the basis of the complaint and a manhunt has been launched to nab the culprits,” said Karanjia SDPO Narayan Nayak.
This comes close on the heels of a woman being thrashed for refusing to pay a fine of Rs 1.42 lakh imposed by a kangaroo court, accusing her of stealing gold ornaments from her brother-in-law’s house at Udaypur village in Nayagarh district on Sunday.
