In yet another incident of violence against women, a woman here was forced fed excreta by her relatives.

Kopila Baniya, 42, of Campus Chowk of Beni Municipality-7, was forcefully fed human faeces by her sister-in-law and niece on the charge of 'attempted character-assassination'.

She was subjected to such inhumane treatment by her sister-in-law Maiti Thapa, 50, and Bissu KC, 25, of the same locality, according to Police Inspector Bimal Kumar Upadhyay. The mother and daughter reached her shop and forced her into taking human faeces, he added.

The accused are already in police net and the police are investigating the case. They have confessed to the charges. Following information about the incident, police reached Kopila's shop where they found her crying with human faeces daubed on her body.

When asked, accused Bissu blamed her maternal aunt for trying to assassinate their character and verbally abusing them.

Victim's husband Yam Bahadur said the relations between the two families who are also neighbours soured after his sister's family accused his spouse of spelling black magic on Bissu's child a year ago and Baniya was subjected to such inhumane treatment for the same charge.
