An elderly woman was tied with a rope and thrashed by a group of people while hurling casteist remarks at her at a village in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone district. A video of the incident has been shared widely on social media. A man and two women have been named in a first information report, or FIR, filed under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, which severely punishes ill-treatment to tribes. In the police complaint, the woman said some people in her neighbourhood picked a fight with her for no reason and also abused her verbally with casteist comments.
