Bengal Woman Alleges Bengaluru Cops Tortured Her for Hours

A woman from West Bengal who works as a house helper in Bengaluru says she found some money and her employer accused her of stealing.

She and her husband were taken to the police station.

There, she says that police officers, both men and women, beat her and her husband for three hours.

She says they were hit with sticks and hurt in private places.

A social worker heard her cries and called the police, which made the officers stop.

She and her husband were let go later that day, but were told not to talk about what happened.

Now, a women's rights group is asking for an investigation into what happened at the police station.
