The recent incident in Andhra Pradesh’s Chittoor district has sent shockwaves across the country, highlighting the brutal and inhumane treatment meted out to a woman over an unpaid loan. The woman, who is yet to be named, was tied to a tree and brutally assaulted by a group of men, including her husband, over a loan of ₹80,000.

According to reports, the loan was taken by the woman’s husband, identified as 35-year-old Ravi Kumar, without her knowledge or consent. When the loan instalments began to pile up, Ravi Kumar, along with his friends and relatives, decided to take matters into their own hands and subject the woman to physical abuse.
The woman was taken to a secluded spot in the village, where she was tied to a tree using ropes and beaten mercilessly by the group. The child, who is believed to be around 5 years old, was forced to sit next to her mother, watch her being brutalized, and cry uncontrollably.
The incident was captured on camera by a bystander, who later shared the video on social media. The graphic footage shows the woman being beaten and kicked, while her child is seen wailing and trying to free her mother.
