A pregnant woman from a Scheduled Caste community lost her unborn child recently after being allegedly assaulted by the owners of a coffee plantation at Jenugadde village near Balehonnur in Karnataka’s Chikkamagaluru district.
The plantation owners had allegedly kept four families consisting of 10 people locked up inside their homes and tortured them after they failed to return borrowed money.
The woman was reportedly assaulted by one Jagadeesh Gowda and his son Tilak Gowda. The police are on the lookout for both.
