A disturbing video from Karnataka’s Davanagere city has sparked outrage after a 38-year-old woman was brutally assaulted by a group of men outside a mosque, reportedly over a domestic dispute raised by her husband.
The victim, Shabina Banu, works as a house help. On April 7, she was visited at home by her relative Nasreen. During the same time, a man named Fayaz also arrived at the house, and the three went out briefly before returning.
When Shabina’s husband, Jameel Ahmed, returned home and found the two guests there, he was reportedly enraged. He approached the Jama Masjid in Bengaluru’s Tavarekere and filed a complaint against Shabina, Nasreen, and Fayaz.
