Dalit woman's nose cut off in Madhya Pradesh

When the woman was taking her husband to a hospital, Narendra and Sahab attacked her too.

In a gruesome incident, the nose of a Dalit woman was cut off at Renvjha village in Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh.

Narendra Singh (32) and his father Sahab Singh beat up the woman's husband on Monday when he refused to go to their house and do some work, inspector R S Bagri of Surkhi police station said.

When the woman was taking her husband to a hospital, Narendra and Sahab attacked her too, the police officer said. Madhya Pradesh Women's Commission (MPWC) chairperson Lata Wankhede claimed that the woman's nose was cut.

Inspector Bagri said that she had sustained an injury to the nose, and police were waiting for the medical report.

The incident came to light yesterday when the woman went to a camp organised by the MPWC in the area to hear complaints of violation of women's rights, and narrated her ordeal to Wankhede.

The MPWC chief told reporters that the accused, who wanted to make the woman and her husband "bonded labourers", had cut the woman's nose.
