A ten-year-old woman was allegedly tortured by her neighbours by burning her face with a scorching iron rod over suspicion of stealing a cell phone in Andhra Pradesh’s Nellore district Sunday.
The police in Indukurupet Mandal in Nellore detained no less than two individuals in reference to the alleged torture of the woman who lives together with her aunt in a Scheduled Tribes (ST) colony. Different neighbours heard the woman’s cries when she was allegedly being burnt with a scorching iron rod on her cheeks. They rescued her and referred to as the police earlier than shifting her to a authorities hospital, the place she was given therapy and discharged.
“The woman denied going to the neighbour’s home, not to mention stealing a cellphone, and claimed innocence. We’ve got registered an FIR and detained two individuals for questioning,’’ an officer from the Indukurupet police station mentioned.
