AMARPUR, Feb 20 (TIWN): Centering one suicide incident, one widow was mass beaten, assaulted by her in-law's family members and villagers.

The incident took place at Mailak village of Amarpur today after Rajib Shil, S/O-Narayan Shil had committed suicide in his own house.

Getting informed, the local people rushed to the house and alleged that Rajib's wife Pramila Debnath has killed her husband.

When the helpless woman Pramila Debnath was trying to escape, her sister-in-law and few other women had gripped her and started mass-beating.

Surprising matter is that Birganj PS OC Dulal Chandra Das and few more police officials remained present when the woman was attacked. Being asked by media, the SDPO Souvik Kr Dey said in front of common people's anger police could do 'nothing'.

Police neither fired in the air nor called force to save her.

Not only this, she was assaulted in the day time openly, as her clothes were snatched from her body.

Right now the woman and his son have been kept at Birganj police station. So far nobody was arrested.
