Some of those accused of brutalising 50-year-old Navi Mumbai resident are her relatives, and police say a property dispute was the motive
The woman is currently in hospital
The 50-year-old nurse from Navi Mumbai whose clothes were torn and who was paraded by a group of people over a property dispute has demanded euthanasia for herself over the deep humiliation. Last week, a group of people allegedly barged into her house located inside the CD Deore English High School campus and tried to rape her. When she escaped and ran out, her assaulters, including women, tore her clothes and paraded her for 1.5km in Mhasdi village, Dhule.
The incident was caught in CCTV cameras based on which the Dhule police have registered an FIR and have made two arrests already.

The woman's daughter said that her mother had visited her hometown after a long time to attend a relative's wedding.
"She was alone on the day of the incident as dad has gone out for some work. In the afternoon, around 30 to 40 people came to our home and started beating our domestic help. When my mother went to find out what was happening, she was attacked by the mob, her clothes torn, and she was beaten mercilessly. She was deliberately attacked on her private parts," the daughter said.
A group of tribal women, too, joined the men in parading the victim, the daughter said.

The woman is currently admitted to a hospital in Dhule for treatment but is "extremely traumatised after the incident and has developed suicidal tendencies, and is asking for physician-assisted suicide," her daughter said.
"My mother has been hiding her face from us ever since the incident. She asked me for euthanasia," she added.
The family registered an FIR with Sakhari police station against 12 people who the victim could identify and relatives who orchestrated the attack.
