Protests by women against illegal liquor trading in the State seem to be intensifying by the day.
In the latest instance, a number of women assaulted a person at Gadaharishpur under the Ersama police limits in Jagatsinghpur district on Tuesday for his alleged involvement in liquor trade.
According to reports, members of the Jhansirani Mahila Mahasangha nabbed the accused, blackened his face and put a shoe garland on him. He was allegedly thrashed by the women as well.
Many liquor bottles were recovered from the man’s pond, the reports added.
It may be recalled that a woman was on September 2 thrashed by several women activists with her hands being tied at Gagua Chhak in Kendrapada district for allegedly selling liquor illegally.
