In the video footage, a young man is seen coming to the woman’s aid while the couple continues their assault. Despite the woman attempting self-defense with slippers, she is pushed and falls down.
In her complaint, Savita stated, “I was taking food to the farm for my husband and sister-in-law’s son when Bhupendra Singh and his wife Anita approached in a tractor, insisting that I walk on a specific side of the road. I explained that I was already walking on the side, but Bhupendra was displeased with my response. He began verbally abusing me, and when I protested, both Bhupendra and Anita descended from the tractor, assaulting me with kicks, punches, and slippers. They also threatened to kill me if I reported the incident to the police, mentioning that Bhupendra’s land is adjacent to our farm.”
