Bihar Village Panchayat Accused of Humiliating Rape Survivor

A woman from a village in Bihar says she was raped by a local man.

Instead of helping her, the village leaders blamed her for having a secret relationship with the man.

They forced her to hold her ears, kneel, and lick sputum in front of other villagers.

She told the police what happened, and they opened a case.

This story shows how some local leaders can misuse their power and hurt people who need help.
