Natore, Oct 26 -- An elderly woman was tied to a tree and beaten mercilessly by her neighbours on Tuesday night for allegedly having an illicit affair with her son-in-law in Natore's Gurudaspur upazila.

Kulsum Bewa, 80, was dragged out of her house and tortured by her neighbours, Raton Ali and Ujjal Hossain, said Abdul Motin, officer-in-charge of Gurudaspur police station.

However, the woman claimed that since she was sick, her son-in-law went to her room to give her medicines.

On information, police visited the spot and rescued the woman.

No one has been arrested in connection with the thrashing, said the OC. "Efforts are on to nab the culprits." - UNB
