Seriously, even if they didn't believe Anandi, they could have handed over the woman to the police, but no, the men instead wanted to strip her off all her dignity without even having proof of her crime

OMG!!! they did this to her, seriously i get they are illeterate and everything but still to do such things its atrocious and inhumane, this lady is someone's mother, daughter, sister, wife (or was maybe)

On the other hand, that is only part of the reason she turned out to be a bandit, but yes, it is sad that people are punished for no rhyme or reason just because they are not "normal". It appears the lady may have lost a baby/family, so she has become a little mad and likes talking to children who remind her of her past. But since she does not appear normal and looks sort of creepy, people have made her out to be a witch.

Its good that BV is showing this issue, but its frustrating to watch people being so dense.

That kid must be hiding in his own house and these supersticious villagers are beating up a poor woman..How easy it is to label a helpless woman as daayan,no one listens to the rational voice and mob mentality takes over..

.It's so easy for them to declare her as a daayan, beat her,plan to burn her ,parade her naked..

Good that BV CVs had the courage to show this track-its hard to watch, but this is the sad reality in many rural areas,there are so many incidents reported ..i remember this one that happened in jharkhand 😵
