In a shocking incident, a village sarpanch and two of his associates have been arrested in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh after a video clip of them brutally beating a woman went viral on social media.

This incident took place on Sunday evening in Jallipalli village of Kuderu mandal and it came to notice only after the video clip went viral on social media after it was posted by a youth whose identity is still not known.

In the viral video Nagaraju along with two of his associates is seen trashing the widow women, kicking and dragging her. The sarpanch is also seen punching the lady on her face, stomach and punching her on head and face.
