The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) took “suo motu cognizance of a media report that a pregnant woman was allegedly beaten up and paraded naked in the village by her family members in Pratapgarh district of Rajasthan on August 31”
It said that a video of the event gained widespread distribution on social media.
The Commission has noted that, if accurate, the media report’s contents raise significant concerns about the victim’s human rights having been violated. It stated that as a result, notice has been sent to the chief secretary and the director general of police in Rajasthan asking for a thorough report within four weeks.

The rights panel ruled that the report should include an outline of the steps taken to punish the offenders and the current state of the inquiry into the incident.
The woman reportedly went to a nearby village with a male, whereupon her family members hauled her back and subjected her to cruel treatment. This was according to a media story that was published on September 2. The report said that despite her repeated cries for assistance, others instead opted to record footage of her.
