Birbhum, West Bengal : Adivasi Girl Stripped and Molested on 8km Walk of Shame After Falling in Love-9/8/10

Birbhum, West Bengal : (CAN LAWS AGAINST 'HONOUR KILLING' WHICH IS NECESSARY, CAN CHANGE HEART AND MINDSET OF THESE PEOPLE???)

Adivasi Girl Stripped and Molested on 8km Walk of Shame After Falling in Love


A TEENAGE girl in India was forced to walk naked for almost 8km, being beaten and groped by hundreds of jeering men along the way, as punishment for loving a boy from another community.

The Times of India said some men recorded videos on mobile phones as the 17-year-old tribal girl staggered along to the sound of beating drums.

The incident occurred in April, but the girl was too traumatised to tell police – while village leaders kept silent.

Police acted after being made aware of the video being sent around in a MMS clip dubbed “Adibasi girl MMS”.

Officers in the Birbhum district of West Bengal arrested five men today.

The Times of India described the video as horrific, noting how the girl had “a dazed, dead look on her face as she staggers along dusty dirt tracks”.

The article described how she tried to protect her modesty but was grabbed by men who molested her, laughing, “as the drums beat up a frenzy”.
