Kannauj: A woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Kannauj was brutally thrashed and had her head shaved after she complained that her nephew harassed her. The incident took place on September 3, 2024, but the video surfaced recently, leading to the arrest of six people.
The viral video shows the woman with her head shaved and her hands and legs bound, being repeatedly beaten with a wooden stick by her husband in front of a small crowd. The men reportedly took turns assaulting her while she screamed in pain and then eventually collapsed.

"Jabardasti kata unhone (They cut my hair forcefully)," said the woman, who covered her head with a dupatta.

Injured Phil Salt returns home for scans
New Delhi (PTI): Royal Challengers Bengaluru opener Phil Salt has returned to England for scans on a finger injury sustained last month.
The injury has kept Salt out of RCB's last three matches, with compatriot Jacob Bethell stepping in at the top of the order.
The 29-year-old is reported to have "damaged a finger on his left hand" while diving to save a boundary at deep backward square leg during RCB's defeat to Delhi Capitals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18.
"Salt, who is centrally contracted by the ECB, has since returned home at the request of England's management and has undergone scans on his finger," ESPNCricinfo reported.
According to the report, both RCB and Salt are hopeful of a speedy recovery and the opener can return to India later this month.
Salt had enjoyed a strong start to the season, amassing 202 runs in six innings at an impressive strike rate of 168.33.
RCB are currently second on the points table behind Punjab Kings. They take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Thursday next.
