The assault was carried out by the family of a boy who had committed suicide. The boy’s family had blamed the woman for his death as he was pursuing the woman.
According to the victim’s sister, the woman – who is married and has a child – had moved to a rented room after the boy’s death on November 12th. She was picked up from Karkardooma by the boy’s uncle.
