Jalandhar, July 18
The State Women Commission has summoned the panchayat of Bajuha Kala village in Nakodar on July 20 after a woman committed suicide alleging atrocities by the panchayat members.
Minutes after recording an audio and video, a 35-year-old mother of three children on Thursday committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling fan of her house. In the clips sent to her brother, the woman alleged that she was taking the extreme step because her village panchayat refused to listen to her. She also alleged that the police didn’t help her, a charge denied by the cops.
After a dispute with a neighbour, the woman, while taking up the matter with the panchayat, had alleged that rather than listening to her, the panchayat members beat her and sided with her neighbour. Nakodar DSP Navneet Singh Mahal said, “The case was marked to the SHO as soon as we got to know about the incident. A panch of the village has been arrested by the police and the remaining members will be nabbed soon.”
