The Rajasthan woman who was stripped and paraded naked by her husband will get a government job and a fixed deposit of Rs 10 lakh, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced on Saturday.

Gehlot made the announcement after meeting the victim. "In this case, an SIT has been formed. 11 people have been arrested... I spoke to the victim's family and assured them that justice would prevail... I offered her a government job... And we will make a fixed deposit of Rs. 10 lakhs," he said.

A 21-year-old tribal woman was allegedly stripped naked and paraded in a village in Rajasthan's Pratapgarh district on Thursday by her husband and in-laws. The incident came to light on Friday after a clip of the incident went viral.

Seven people have been arrested and four others detained after a 21-year-old tribal woman in connection with the case.

"We have arrested seven men, including the husband of the accused, and four others have been detained in connection with the case," Pratapgarh District Superintendent of Police Amit Kumar said. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is expected to meet the victim woman and her family at Dhariyawad in Pratapgarh.

In a video which went viral, the woman was disrobed and paraded in front of villagers by her husband.

In a statement, DGP Umesh Mishra earlier said 10 people have been named in the FIR for molestation, thrashing the woman besides other relevant sections.

Of these, eight men, including the main accused, have been detained, it said. He said the victim lodged a complaint against her husband Kanha Gameti along with Suraj, Beniya, Netiya, Nathu and Mahendra for forcibly taking her on a motorcycle and parading her naked.

"The main accused Kanha, Netiya, Beniya and Pintu and a minor have been detained apart from spectators of the crime Punia, Khetia and Motilal," the police statement said earlier. Police also said that Kanha, Netiya and Benia got injured while trying to flee and are being treated at Pratapgarh district hospital. Initial investigation revealed that the woman was in a relationship with another man, said Dhariyawad SHO Peshawar Khan.

Police said the in-laws of the woman kidnapped her and took her to their village where the incident took place on Thursday. Her in-laws were annoyed as she was staying with another man. DGP Mishra said a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed under the supervision of IG, Banswara Range, and SP Pratapgarh will investigate all aspects of the incident and submit the report to the state government and police headquarters.
