By Our Staff Reporter

BHUBANESWAR DEC. 19. Four persons have been arrested for allegedly parading a woman naked in Orissa's Kendrapara district on Sunday.

The incident occurred in Nethuria village of the district when the woman and her husband protested the felling of trees close to their house. The couple lived in a thatched house constructed on a government land for over a decade.

The couple was stripped and paraded naked when they protested the tree felling by the members of a local club. Several human rights organisations have demanded stringent action against the culprits.
