Women protestesters were stripped and molested in Guwahati

Assam was rocked by violence during Saturday's protests by tribals, backed by the All Assam Adivasi Students' Association (AAASA) students, when locals brutally beat them up resulting in at least one death and over 250 people getting injured.

Not only were the Adivasi students beaten up, but the women protesters were also stripped and molested by the residents of Guwahati.
A local Assamese businessman, identified as Ratul Burman, was seen attacking a woman after she was stripped during clashes on Saturday.

“The act is condemnable and the states human rights commission would investigate the matter. This is the first time such a thing has happened and stern action must be taken,” says Mridula Saharia, Chairperson of Assam State Commission for Women.

Burman and two others have been arrested. Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has announced a Rs 1 lakh compensation to the woman.
