Hyderabad: In a shocking incident, a Dalit woman was allegedly tied to a tree and thrashed as her son had married a girl from another caste, in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh.

The girl’s family, who belong to the BC community, had disapproved of her marriage to the Dalit boy. 

According to reports, the son of K Govindamma, a resident of Kalakunta village of Pedda Kadubur Mandal in Kurnool district, had married a girl from a different caste in the same village.

Govindamma, along with the newly married couple, left the village, anticipating backlash from the girl’s family. After staying out of the village for almost six months, Govindamma returned to Kalakunta a few days ago.
