For 19 years, he came home drunk every night, and beat up his wife, demanding
dowry.
Tired of his promises to change his ways, the women of a small village in the
Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh finally tied the offender to a tree on
Monday and took turns beating him.
Village elders had repeatedly warned the man to stop assaulting his wife.
He has now been handed over to the police and a formal case of physical abuse
has been lodged against him.
