A woman, beaten in public at a village market in the district's Chakoria upazila allegedly by a union parishad (UP) member on Wednesday, is undergoing treatment at a local private hospital.
Sara Khatun, 37, wife of Saudi Arabia expatriate Noor Mohammad, faced the brutality by the UP member when she was taking her sick child to a hospital for treatment around 5:00pm.
The incident occurred at Machhghat station at Charan Dwip Dakkhin under ward No 8 of Chiringa union in Chakoria upazila.
