The rally which began from Lal field marched up to Synod to Council Rotary and converged in front of the office of the Deputy Commissioner, where members of the Dima Hasao Joint Women’s’ Organisation, Dima Hasao, Assam, expressed shock, anguish and sorrow over the gruesome and unimaginable incident where two women, belonging to a minority tribal community, were paraded naked on camera in presence of a hounding agitated mob on May 4. The video later went viral on social media to be witnessed by a horrified world.
