INDIA Man allegedly committed an insult against the authorities in his village. They dragged him out of his house and publicly whipped him in front of all the neighbors. Exactly how he insulted them is not known.
Although India strives to be a state governed by the rule of law, where all residents have the same rights, practice unfortunately often differs. Especially in rural areas, extrajudicial corporal punishments still occur. Society often tolerates them and doesn’t even try to call the police to the scene.
