A shocking case has emerged from Morena district in Madhya Pradesh, where a man was tied to a tree and beaten with belts and sticks by his brothers-in-law during a visit to his in-laws' house. Sons-in-law are usually treated with great respect and hospitality when they visit their in-laws' home, but in this case things turned out to be exactly the opposite. The incident took place in Bhidausa village under the Sihoniya police station area on Monday, and police arrested both accused after the victim filed a complaint at the police station.
Trouble began soon after he arrived
According to police, 27-year-old Nandkishor Valmiki, a resident of Kichal village, reached his in-laws' home in Bhidausa village on July 13. Just a few hours after he arrived, a family dispute broke out, and his two brothers-in-law caught hold of him and tied him to a tree. As per the complaint, the accused first stripped off his clothes and then beat him repeatedly with a belt, sticks and a strap.
Both accused arrested by police
Sihoniya police station in-charge Atul Parihar said that the accused, Monu Valmiki (25) and Golu Valmiki (22), have been arrested. Both are being questioned, and police are investigating the case further before taking legal action.
Video of the assault goes viral
A video of the assault surfaced on social media, clearly showing both accused beating Nandkishor. Police also recovered additional videos of the beating from the mobile phones of the accused. After the assault, the brothers-in-law let their jija, or brother-in-law, go, following which Nandkishor went to the police station and filed a complaint.
Brothers-in-law level serious allegation
During questioning, Monu and Golu alleged that Nandkishor used to take their younger sister, who is his sister-in-law, out on the pretext of an outing and misbehaved with her. This allegation is said to have fuelled the family dispute that led to the assault. Some accounts also claim that Nandkishor's wife was present at the spot while he was being beaten but did not say anything to stop her brothers. Police are currently examining every aspect of the case.
