Morena (Madhya Pradesh): A man beat up a woman and abused her for refusing to sell Gutkha to him. The injured woman alleged that the attacker had molested her and snatched her earrings.

The police, however, did not register a case of molestation against the man. Although the incident took place three days ago, it came to light only after TV footage went viral.

According to the police, the woman who was attacked is a resident of the Vikram Nagar area. She runs a shop from her residence. The woman said that when she was working in the shop on January 14, a neighbour, Kallu Gurjar demanded Gutkha from her.

As the item was not available in the shop, she said that would not be able to give it to him.

This enraged Kallu Gurjar who began to hurl choicest abuses at her. She alleged that Gurjar dragged her out of the shop and beat her up, but nobody came to her rescue. She alleged that the man had also molested her. Meanwhile, her husband and mother-in-law rescued her from the clutches of Gurjar. The police registered a case against Gurjar and began an inquiry.
