A 60-year-old woman from Tindani (Nayagaon) village, under Themi police station limits in Narsinghpur district, has made serious allegations against a young man of the same village. She says he entered her home, assaulted her, tried to rob her of her silver bangles and tried to kill her by strangling her.

On Tuesday, the woman submitted an application to the Superintendent of Police seeking action against the accused.

According to the application, the incident took place at around 10 am on November 10. Phula Bai Mallah was cooking at home and was alone. She alleges that Kal Mallah, a 26-year-old from the village, forced his way into the house in an intoxicated state.

The woman says the youth tried to pull off the silver bangles she was wearing. When she resisted, he abused her, beat her and tried to kill her by strangling her.

The victim says the accused then scattered the food that was being cooked in the house and left after breaking the gate.

The woman alleges that when she set out for the police station to complain, the accused and his family members tried to stop her. They also threatened to kill her entire family.

The woman has asked the SP to order an inquiry into the matter and take appropriate legal action against the accused. Police have said they will investigate the case.
