Belagavi: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakhs to the woman who was recently attacked and paraded naked in New Vantamuri village, said district in-charge minister Satish Jarakiholi in a statement on Friday.

A compensation of Rs 50,000 has also been announced by the District Legal Services Authority for the aggrieved woman, he added.

Eight people have been arrested in connection with the case and a search is on for eight other accused.

The High Court of Karnataka on its own took cognizance of news reports about a woman being paraded naked after her son eloped with a girl who was to get engaged with someone else and has ordered all electronic media not to telecast any videos related to the incident.

On coming to know about their 18-year-old daughter eloping with the woman’s son (aged 24), about 20 of her family members damaged the man’s house in New Vantamuri village on December 11. They are then said to have dragged his 55-year-old mother, who was alone at home, outside, paraded her naked and tied her to an electricity pole.

The court also directed the Advocate General to submit a status report of the incident.
