A disturbing video has surfaced of a woman constable being brutally assaulted and stripped of her clothes during an anti-mining protest in Chhattisgarh's Raigarh district. The incident occurred last week, but a video of the assault went viral on social media on Thursday, sparking outrage. According to Inspector General Sanjeev Shukla, the constable was left alone in an open field as the protest turned violent. In the video, she can be seen crying and pleading for mercy as two men tear her clothes and question her presence at the site. The accused men are seen pulling her clothes and recording the assault on their phone, threatening her with a sandal. The two accused men have been arrested and booked on charges including attempt to murder and loot. Further investigation is underway to identify more people involved in the incident. The Opposition Congress has condemned the assault, calling it 'horrifying and shameful.' They have raised questions about women's security and law and order in the state. The protest was against the proposed coal block allotment, which locals feared would lead to loss of livelihood and displacement. Clashes broke out between protesters and police, resulting in injuries to two officials and damage to several vehicles and property. The Raigarh district administration has since initiated the process to cancel the public hearing for the coal block allotment. The incident has sparked concerns about the safety of police personnel, particularly women, and the need for improved law and order in the state.
