In a gruesome incident, a woman was tied to the tree and beaten by her husband and creditors due to non-payment of loans at Rajeev Gandhi Nagar, Adoni in Kurnool district on Wednesday.
The woman allegedly has taken over ₹2.5 lakh as loan from family members. She had pawned about 20 grams of gold and 600 grams of silver without informing her family.
The woman, Jammakka, had left the town 10 days ago in an attempt to evade the lenders. She said that she had given the money to an acquaintance who has not been in contact with her since then. Jammakka is the mother of seven children – four boys and three girls.
After learning about the incident, the local journalists rushed to the spot and freed her. The police is yet to register a case.
