Bhubaneswar, July 11 (IANS) Two men were arrested on charges of
tonsuring a Dalit woman and parading her in an Orissa village for
allegedly having an extra marital affair with her nephew, police said
Saturday.

The incident took place in Kashimpur village in Bhadrak district, 150
km from here, July 5 but came to light after her husband lodged a
police complaint Thursday when the woman attempted suicide.

Inspector Jagmohan Mohanty told IANS that five other culprits were on
the run. The villagers allegedly asked the 26-year-old woman to pay
Rs.20,000 as fine for her alleged illicit relationship with her
19-year-old nephew.

When she refused, she was tonsured and paraded around the village.
