Patiala (Punjab), April 6, 2025: In a deeply disturbing and shocking incident, a woman in Jansuha village, Patiala district, was allegedly subjected to a Taliban-style punishment by local villagers — not for any wrongdoing of her own, but because of her son’s alleged actions.
According to reports, the incident unfolded after the woman’s son was accused of eloping with another woman from the same village. The villagers, enraged by the situation, held the mother responsible and decided to punish her in a brutal, regressive manner.

Eyewitnesses claim that the punishment mirrored Taliban-like justice, raising serious concerns about the breakdown of law and order and the continued presence of mob justice in rural areas. What makes the incident even more heartbreaking is the fact that the woman was not directly involved in the incident involving her son.
This act has sparked outrage and demands for justice across the region. Women’s rights activists and legal experts have condemned the village's actions, calling it a gross violation of human rights and a shocking instance of collective punishment.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement, but local police have reportedly begun an investigation into the matter.
