Balasore, Oct 17: In yet another instance of mob justice, a tribal girl was allegedly tied and beaten up for being involved in flesh trade, reports CNN IBN.

In the incident which took place in Orissa's Balasore district, a 25-year-old girl was tied to a tree and brutally beaten up. This reportedly happened in a busy market place of village Soro in Balasore district.

“I was walking on the road when few young men started abusing me in filthy language. When I protested they tied me up and started beating me," the girl was quoted as saying in the report.

While the police have arrested three men under the charges of abusing and beating the woman, advocate and human right activist Pravir Kumar Das has filed a petition with the National Commission for Woman (NCW).
