Recently, two sisters from a tribal community in Madhya Pradesh's Dhar district were assaulted brutally by family members for talking on the phone to male cousins on the maternal side. The horrific episode occurred last month on June 22 but only reached authorities some days later after a video of the same had gone viral, as per reports.
In the video, one of the two sisters (aged 19 and 20) is seen being beaten with sticks and dragged by the hair by men, even as she pleads for them to stop.
