AMRAVATI: A 77-year-old woman was allegedly thrashed, forced to drink urine and branded with an iron rod on suspicion of practising black magic in a village in Maharashtra’s Amravati district, police said on Saturday.
While the incident occurred on December 30, a police complaint was lodged earlier this month, and the victim’s son and daughter-in-law approached senior officials on Friday demanding action, an official said.
The victim is a resident of Retyakheda village in Chikhaldara taluka, he said. PTI
