Story summary

A woman was beaten to death at a crowded bus station in Gujarat, India, with CCTV footage showing her partner attacking her while bystanders watched. The accused, whose name is not mentioned, was arrested but later publicly beaten by police. In another incident related to the same case, police in Gujarat took the accused's partner, identified as Faizal Lakhani, to the scene of the alleged crime and beat him on Friday** at a bus terminal, saying it was meant to set an example for others not to commit crimes against women. The beating was captured on video and shared widely on social media, with some users praising the police's actions despite concerns over due process.
