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.
