this group. They were first chased by the accused and later attacked with belt.

The incident took place 11 km away from Bharuch near Derol patiya. The accused had started chasing Jain lady monks from Muhammadpura and shouted against them in attempt to fear them. As per their religous practice, a male can’t touch the Jain lady monk, and therefore the lad monks repeatedly requested not to touch them.

जैन साध्वियों के साथ मार पीट 😭

भरूच से 13 किमी दूर स्थित डेरोल गांव के एक निवासी ने एक जैन साध्वी के साथ क्रूर व्यवहार किया। 😢
शांतिपूर्ण व्यक्ति के साथ हिंसा का यह कृत्य भारत के लिए शर्मनाक घटना है।
