In a shocking incident reminiscent of the movie “Chanti,” a Dalit youth who married a BC woman faced severe backlash from the woman’s family in Kurnool district.
Six months ago, Govindamma’s son, a Dalit from Kalakunta in Peddakadabur Mandal, fell in love with and married a woman from the BC community. Following their marriage, the couple left the village with their family.
Recently, the young man’s mother returned to the village. In a fit of rage over their daughter’s marriage, the woman’s family and relatives tied the young man’s mother to a tree. They then attempted to marry her off to a mentally unstable man as an act of revenge.
Local police, alerted by the villagers, intervened and rescued the woman from the situation. The authorities are investigating the incident further.
