A disturbing case has emerged from Chhattisgarh, where two women were allegedly sexually assaulted after tribal community leaders ordered the attacks as punishment for living separately from their partners. According to police, the alleged assaults followed decisions by an informal community council, prompting criminal cases against several accused. Authorities have launched an investigation and taken action against those allegedly involved, while efforts are underway to arrest remaining suspects. The incident has triggered widespread outrage, raising serious concerns about gender-based violence, the misuse of extrajudicial community authority, and the protection of women's rights in remote tribal regions of India.
