When the commotion drew her outside, the accused allegedly surrounded her, verbally abusing her regarding the court marriage. They then proceeded to tear her clothes, leaving her half-naked, and then paraded her through the streets. Despite her screams for help, bystanders reportedly offered no assistance.

The ordeal continued with the accused filming the incident and later posting the video on social media. The victim has accused the police of inaction, stating that despite filing a complaint on the night of the incident, no steps were taken until April 4th.

The Tarn Taran Police have registered a case against the identified accused Sharanjit Singh, Gurcharan Singh, and Kulwinder Kaur along with two unidentified individuals. Raids are reportedly underway to apprehend the accused.

The Women’s Commission has also intervened, demanding a report from the police on the actions taken in the matter.
