The Punjab police on Saturday arrested six men, including the brother of a local Congress leader, for allegedly dragging out a woman from her house and thrashing her on the road in Punjab’s Muktsar.
The police said that the men assaulted the woman allegedly for not repaying ₹23,000 she had borrowed from Suresh Chaudhary. He is the brother of Muktsar civic body councillor Rakesh Chaudhary.
The incident came to light after a video of the assault went viral on social media.
