India Today
Two minor sisters in Tamil Nadu’s Chengalpet have released a video alleging that members of their village were torturing and harassing them for reporting a sexual assault. They said that villagers even threatened to burn their house down at night.
In a heartbreaking video, a 17-year-old girl and her 15-year-old sister were seen crying their hearts out in a video stating that they had been ostracised by their village members for reporting a sexual assault case against her, pleading with the Chief Minister Stalin to take action and save them.
The sisters also mentioned that police in Mahabalipuram Police station were of no help and that even though they promised the girls security, none was provided. They also alleged that a group of men supporting the accused were torturing them.
In the video, the two women can be heard sobbing while narrating a woeful tale of ostracization and abandonment. The girls also allege that they were harassed if they even stepped out of their house.
“We are scared to leave the house. Men torture and harass us if we step outside. We would rather immolate ourselves than suffer this,” said the girl in the video.

The sisters also stated that they are unable to bare the torture and might die soon. The 17-year-old girl had reported about her uncle’s son sexually assaulting her, which had led to the villagers taking a stand against her family ostracising them.
The sisters also stated that they are being harassed even while walking on the road and that if she continues with her complaint, they would burn their house down.
