Mother-daughter duo accused of prostitution, dragged, assaulted by neighbours

A mother and daughter, aged 60 and 29, were assaulted and their clothes were torn by neighbours who barged into their house, accusing them of running a prostitution racket in Karnataka’s Belagavi, police said.
According to the complaint filed by the women, several members of a neighbouring family, including women, forced their way into their house, dragged the duo out, and physically assaulted them.
The attackers accused the mother and daughter of operating a prostitution racket, claiming that unrelated individuals frequently visited their home, police added.
However, it is also alleged that the police were reluctant to register their complaint and provide protection for two days despite repeated attempts.
An FIR was registered against three individuals after the matter was escalated to the City Police Commissioner. The accused have been charged under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Police stated that they have launched an investigation into the incident.
