Gandhinagar: In a disturbing incident, two young men in Gujarat’s Kutch were reportedly tied to a tree, assaulted, and shamed.
The incident took place on October 31 in the Khavda area but came to light on Tuesday, November 4.
According to the police complaint filed by one of the victims, Hakim Sama, he and his cousin Sadhak Sama had gone to the outskirts of Dhoravar village to look for a missing cow when a group of men accused them of trespassing and misbehaving with women. The argument soon turned violent.
