According to an Amar Ujala report, this incident came just days after the people of the district were shaken by a previous incident in Baron’s village, where a father allegedly burned his young daughter with hot tongs, another heart-wrenching case has emerged.
In this latest incident, Govind Das Raikwar, a resident of Dhamna, tied his daughter, Sonam, by her legs and suspended her from the ceiling, allegedly for some unknown reason.
Viral Video Shows Father’s Brutality
The video, which has now been widely circulated on social media, shows the father brutally beating his daughter while she hangs upside down. Despite her pleas for mercy, saying, “Papa, please let me go,” the father continued with his harsh treatment. He even threatened her, warning that he would kill her if she told anyone about the incident.
A local villager, who witnessed the cruelty, eventually intervened and rescued the girl. The matter was reported to the Bar police station, where Sub-Inspector Mahendra Singh filed a complaint against Govind Das. The police promptly registered a case and began their investigation into the incident.
