Rajasthan, Nov 10: Yet another shocking decision by community panchayat in Rajasthan came to fore in which the panchayat members in a tribal area of Rajsamand district stripped a 45-year-old woman, blackened her face and then paraded her on a donkey's back on Saturday evening.

The shocking punishment was given to her after the panchayat accused the woman of killing her nephew, Vardi Singh.

As per police officials, Vardi Singh's wife suspected that his aunt had killed him and thus, approached the local community panchayat which after hearing the case publicly declared her guilty and said she should be punished for what she has done.

As per the report, the woman was stripped at a place in the middle of the village. The panchayat members blackened her face with coal and forced her to sit on a donkey. After all this humiliation, she was paraded through out the village for nearly an hour.
