In a harrowing incident from Telangana's Nagarkurnool district, a 26-year-old Chenchu tribal woman endured a week-long ordeal of torture, including beatings and the application of chilli powder to her eyes and genitals. This horryfying act was allegedly perpetrated by four individuals, including her sister and brother-in-law, over a dispute involving money borrowed by the victim.

Reports indicate that the woman had borrowed money from a local farmer, Bandi Venkatesh, agreeing to work on his farm in return. However, a disagreement ensued, prompting her to abruptly leave her work, which also involved her sister. Enraged by her departure, Venkatesh reportedly tracked her down and forcibly brought her back to his farm. However, another report from TOI indicates that she was beaten allegedly for not agreeing to work in the fields.
