men and women beat suspected rapist in India. [View all]

That's going to smart! The 1st guy got in some major licks with the stick. for those who don't want to watch the video - about 5 hits with a stick, a couple of kicks, then the women begin slapping and pull off his shirt, then they vandalize his car by writing "goon" on it.

Indian politician attacked for alleged involvement in rape
Police in India have arrested a leader of the ruling Congress party on accusations he raped a woman in a village in the early hours of the morning.

Footage aired on Indian television showed the extraordinary scene of local women surrounding the man, ripping off his shirt and repeatedly slapping him across the face.



Police said the man, Bikram Singh Brahma, was visiting the village of Santipur on the Bhutan border, when he allegedly entered a woman's house and raped her at about 2 a.m. local time (2030GMT Wednesday).

A senior police officer in the area said villagers ran to the home when they heard the screams, and captured the man.

Later in the day the man was filmed being beaten by villagers with sticks, and slapped by local women.

The arrest was a sign that attitudes towards such behaviour might be changing, with even powerful men being held accountable for their actions.
