MEERUT: A 30-year-old disabled woman was allegedly beaten to death by her neighbours for plucking water chestnuts from their garden in Bulandshahr, police said on Monday.
Sunita Devi was returning home after collecting the fruit on Nov 8 when a group of women confronted her and thrashed her with sticks. She sustained serious wounds to her head, according to her husband Omkar Singh.
