Hapur: In what can be termed as bizarre, a Haryana panchayat ordered five shoe slaps as punishment for two persons, who were accused of gang-raping a girl in Hisar district.
The ordeal of the victim didn't end here, the panchayat also ordered the alleged rape victim to leave the village.
The girl had lodged a police complaint against the accused, but before the officials could initiate any action, the panchayat ordered the punishment.
In August this year, a young Dalit woman moved the Supreme Court against a Khap Panchayat in Uttar Pradesh for issuing diktat that she and her sister be raped and paraded naked in their village as revenge for their brother’s action of eloping with a married girl from the Jat community.
