Baripada: A woman was allegedly thrashed and forced to wear a garland of shoes by a group of villagers at Nuadihi village in Mayurbhanj district.

According to available information, a minor girl of Nuadihi village in the district was allegedly abducted by a youth of nearby Ranibhola village following which the girl’s mother had lodged a complaint at Sadar police station.
