A Dalit woman was allegedly beaten, stripped and urinated on her mouth by their moneylender and his companions in Bihar's Patna district for reporting to the Police about his not justified demand for more money even after the whole repayment of the debt, a Police officer stated on Monday. 


The injured woman, who is under treatment in a hospital, stated that she had to tolerate his torture despite paying off the rented money with interest.  


Her husband borrowed Rs 1,500 from Pramod Singh a few months back and returned the money with interest. However, he repeatedly looked for more money. They rejected the demand, the woman said. The incident happened in a village under the jurisdiction of Khusrupur police station in Patna. Pramod Singh allegedly warned the victim over the phone, saying they would march her naked in the village if she didn't give him more money. She reported to the Police about this on her cell phone. A victim's family member told reporters: "A police team came to the village on Saturday to investigate the complaint, which maddened Pramod and his companions. On Saturday at around 10 p.m., they went to her house and took her to Pramod's house by force. She was allegedly exposed and beaten up with clenched hands and sticks. Pramod ordered his son to urinate in her mouth. And the son did so. After that, she somehow managed to run away and return home, the woman said in a statement to the Police.
