Mithlesh's husband, Hariram Prajapati, who tried to resist, was beaten mercilessly with sticks and is currently undergoing treatment at the district hospital. "Sanjay had his eye on my wife. He was sitting outside our house the day before. When I confronted him, he came back and took her away," Hariram told NDTV.

Shaken by the experience, the victim's family reportedly did not approach the police, but the video going viral forced authorities to register a case and begin an investigation.
