A 23-year-old shepherd in Rajasthan's Churu district has alleged that he was tied to a tree and thrashed by a group of local residents who accused him of harassing girls, police said today.
The incident took place on May 26 in a village under the Sandwa police station where the victim, Moolchand, was grazing his sheep in a hamlet, investigating officer Bajrang Lal said.
