The Victim Said ” During The Panchayat Meeting, I was forced to lick my own saliva off the group because my son married to a Muslim woman. And as a punishment, the panchayat ordered me to leave the village permanently. ‘The Panchayat members said that my daughter and wife should walk nakedly on the streets ‘ He said.
The Man further claimed that his son married a girl who is a Muslim and even they registered their marriage in the court.
