A 56-year-old man was dragged out of the comfort of his home by a group of Hindu men. They blackened his face, tied his hands, hoisted him on a donkey and paraded him on public roads accusing him of allegedly teasing a woman. The victim's son alleged that his father was beaten and threatened to be killed and the victim had fled to a relatives place out of fear, shame and embarrassment. The man was declared missing and his son claimed there was a mild altercation with the woman regarding the goats. The police said no complain was logged by the woman for any case of sexual harassment. He was later found after three days.
