00:00 A woman is being stripped, paraded naked, beaten up brutally, mercilessly
00:05 and the police did not even know about it.
00:08 So this shows the attitude of the Commerce Party, particularly Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Bhadra.
00:14 When it is convenient, they will go in other states and do politics.
00:17 But today, they will not say a word.
00:19 They should demand resignation and sack Mr Ashok Ghelu.
00:23 But instead, they will only protect him and divert.
00:27 The Minister Shanti Dhariwal says that it's a 'Mardokka Pradesh', rapes will happen.
00:31 At that time, how can there be sensitivity for women in a state like Rajasthan?
00:36 Rajasthan police detained 8 individuals, one of whom is the husband of a 20-year-old tribal woman
00:44 in connection with an incident where she was allegedly stripped and paraded naked in Pratapgarh district village.
00:50 After the video of the shocking incident on August 31 went viral on social media,
00:55 the police have said that the victim woman was pregnant.
00:58 Baneswara Range IG S Parimala informed The Indian Express that the primary accused,
01:07 the victim's husband, was furious because the woman, who is 4-5 months pregnant,
01:12 had moved with her lover two weeks earlier.
01:15 The IG noted she has been living with the accused, her second husband, for the past year.
01:20 Rajasthan's CM Ashok Ghalot expressed his commitment to take strict action in the case,
01:25 emphasizing that the accused individual would be arrested and tried in fast-track courts.
01:29 Pratapgarh SP Amit Kumar Budhania told The Indian Express on Saturday that the woman's husband
01:35 and her in-laws were upset because she had been cohabiting with another man for a period.
01:40 Her husband, accompanied by his associate, located her at a place where she was staying with the other man
01:46 and forcefully abducted her before subjecting her to humiliation.
01:50 The SP added that both the victims and the accused individual belonged to a tribal community.
01:55 Rajasthan DGP Umesh Mishra announced on Saturday that those detained included a juvenile and three eyewitnesses to the crime.
02:01 SP Budhania clarified the woman was previously married to another man.
02:05 Subsequently, as part of Nata Pratha custom, she began residing with a second man,
02:10 who is the primary accused in the case.
02:12 Currently, she was residing with a third man, which infuriated her second partner,
02:16 leading him and his associate to commit the crime.
02:19 But what exactly is Nata Pratha?
02:22 As per the report by Tehelka, Nata Pratha is mainly practiced by the Bhil tribe,
02:26 one of the largest tribes in South Asia.
02:28 Traditionally, both the man and woman who enter into a relationship are supposed to be married or have been widowed.
02:34 But the custom has evolved to include single people as well.
02:38 The word Nata means relationship. Under this system, no formal marriage ceremony is required to live together.
02:44 Couple can perform all obligations of husband and wife without entering into a wedlock.
02:49 According to the practice, man has to pay money to live with the woman of his choice,
02:54 after the woman's first husband walks out of the marriage and passes on his wife to other man in return for money.
03:00 This money, the bride price, is fixed by the member of the community or middleman, who may receive a cut for doing so.
03:06 The Rajasthan Police said that a case has been registered under sections 323, 341, 342, 354, 355B, 294, 365, 504, 506, and 498 of the Indian Penal Code,
03:23 along with sections of Indecent Representation of Women Act and 67A, ID Act.
03:29 Reacting to this shocking incident, BJP National President J.P. Nadda has tweeted, and I am quoting,
03:35 "The video from Pratapgarh, Rajasthan is shocking. What is worse is the governance in Rajasthan is totally absent.
03:41 The CM and ministers are busy settling factions' squabbles and the remaining time is spent appeasing one dynasty in Delhi.
03:47 It's no wonder the issue of women's safety is being completely ignored in the state.
03:51 Every single day there is an instance of harassment against women. The people of Rajasthan will teach the state government a lesson."
03:57 Shehzad Poonawalla, BJP spokesperson, shared a video on his Twitter account stating that,
04:02 "The woman who has been beaten mercilessly and paraded naked approached the police, but the police was not interested in filing an FIR."
04:09 He said the minister Shanti Dhariwal said that it is a 'mardo ka pradesh', 'rapes will happen'.
04:14 This is the state where Priyanka Gandhi Wadra says, "Ladki hun, lad sakti hun", but women are saying, "Ladki hun, toh bach sakti hun."
04:21 A shocking and an extremely barbaric video has emerged from Pratapgarh in Rajasthan where in an Adivasi dominated area,
04:30 a woman is being stripped, paraded naked, beaten up brutally, mercilessly and the police did not even know about it.
04:39 The police has woken up after the video became viral. It is because it is said by the media that the victim approached the police,
04:46 but the police was not interested in doing the FIR. How will they? When the chief minister himself says most FIRs of the rapes are fake,
04:54 when the maximum number of atrocities and crimes against women, against SC/STs is taking place in Rajasthan,
05:00 when the minister Shanti Dhariwal says that it is a 'mardo ka pradesh', 'rapes will happen',
05:04 at that time, how can there be sensitivity for women in a state like Rajasthan, which has now become number one in women atrocities?
05:11 This is the state where Priyanka Wadhwa says, "Ladki hun lad sakti hun", but women are saying, "Ladki hun toh bach sakti hun."
05:16 Karoli incident is fresh in our minds. What happened to that Dalit girl?
05:20 We are also remembering the incident of a 14-year-old girl who was gang raped and then put into the bhatti after being killed and cut into pieces.
05:29 We remember the incidents that have taken place on a daily basis.
05:32 10 to 15 incidents of women atrocities are taking place in Rajasthan, but the entire focus of Rajasthan government is "Satta Bachao".
05:39 It is "Apradi Bachao", "Dangai Bachao", "Vote Bank Bachao", not "Beti Bachao".
05:43 Today, those who are accumulated in Mumbai, they do politics over women's issues.
05:48 Today, will they take a stand? Will Mamata Banerjee take a stand? Will Rahul Gandhi take a stand?
05:52 Sitaram Yajuri take a stand? Priyanka Wadhwa, will you take a stand? Will Uddhav Sena take a stand?
05:57 No, they will not take a stand because it is not convenient.
06:00 They did not take a stand when Adivasi women were stripped naked in West Bengal.
06:04 They did not take a stand when Rajendra Guddha, he was trying to raise the issue of women's security and women's safety in Rajasthan.
06:10 He was chucked out of the ministry.
06:12 Divya Madherna, an MLA of the Congress Party has said, "Forget other women, I am unsafe in Rajasthan."
06:17 But nobody has spoken a word about it.
06:19 Mahesh Joshi's son was involved in a rape case, but no FIR was filed against him.
06:24 So, this shows the attitude of Congress Party, particularly Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Wadhwa.
06:29 When it is convenient, they will go in other states and do politics, but today they will not say a word.
06:34 They should demand resignation and sack Mr. Ashok Ghelal.
06:38 But instead, they will only protect him and divert.
06:41 That's all on the news report. Stay tuned with HW News English. Thank you for joining us.
