In a shocking case of brutality, reports coming from Haryans says women passengers travelling towards NCR were sexually abused by Jat protesters. Even though police have dismissed these reports as rumours, eyewitnesses said at least 10 women have been sexually assaulted on Monday while they were travelling with their family through Hassanpur. According to reports, their vehicle was stopped by around 30-odd protesters and set ablaze. While most of them ran for their lives, some women couldn't. They were dragged into a nearby field and attacked sexually.

They were lying in the field helpless until residents from Hassanpur and Kurad villages came for their help.

What is even more shocking is that, the victims were 'advised' by local authorities not to report the matter to anyone “for the sake of their honour”.

“Three women were taken to Amrik Sukhdev Dhaba and united with their families in the presence of senior police officers. They appeared lifeless. District officials who arrived there, instead of investigating the matter, persuaded the families to take the women home. Many were provided transport,” The Tribune quoting an eyewitness reported.

Villagers said they didn't want to talk about the incident as “the police are sure to shield the criminals and nobody, not even the locals, are safe.”
