After a video of a woman being thrashed by a group of men in Rajasthan came to light, the National Commission for Women has sought police action into the matter.
The National Commission for Woman (NCW) has taken cognizance of a video in which a group of men assaulting a woman in Rajasthan surfaced online. In the video, a group of men can be allegedly seen beating and brutally assaulting a woman and the incident is alleged to have taken place in Banswara district.

The Commission has sought immediate arrest of all the accused and to provide the victim with best medical treatment.
