AURANGABAD: A 30-year-old woman from Beed district of Maharashtra, who was gangraped in 2015, has alleged that her village panchayat has passed a resolution to banish her and that she was being forced to leave the place by the residents.
An official from local administration said that not only her village, which is located in Gevrai tehsil, but two adjoining villages have also passed resolutions to banish her.
Police said the woman has lodged a complaint against the villagers accusing them of using abusive language against her and they were probing it.
The woman was sexually assaulted five years back when she had gone to a farm in the village to p luck cotton. Earlier this year, the court had sentenced four persons to life imprisonment for raping her, police said.
Talking to a news channel, the woman said a notice was pasted on the door of her house, asking her to leave the village. She also alleged that the villagers were threatening her.
