The girl, who was allegedly thrashed by Punjab policemen in full public view in the district when she sought action against some persons who teased her, today threatened to go on a hunger strike if the government did not dismiss the officials immediately.

"I am going on fast-unto-death from Tuesday if the Punjab government failed to deliver justice by dismissing errant policemen by Monday who in full public view had thrashed me mercilessly like an animal," the 22-year-old victim said. She alleged that her family is being pressured to withdraw complaint against the policemen.
