Though there were other people present on the spot, none came to the rescue of the helpless woman.

An elderly man and another woman were seen in the video trying to stop the men but they were also attacked. The victim was not only assaulted with the iron rods and sticks but was pushed to the ground and thrashed even as she cried for help.

The victim had filed a complaint, leading police in Ludhiana, about 100 km from the state capital Chandigarh, to register the case.

The case comes close on the heels of last month's incident of Punjab police officers brutally thrashing a young woman in Tarn Taran district.u00a0
