The Sun reports.
The report reveals that the woman identified as Usha Devi, 45, was at home with her kids when she was dragged from her home in the village of Samastipur, Bihar, India, by a group of men.
They savagely knocked her unconscious before leaving her in the dirt. Shockingly, over 100 people are believed to have stood and watched the vile beating, but none stepped in to help the housewife.
