In a troubling incident in the Surpaliya area of Nagaur district, Rajasthan, police allegedly beat two women based on predictions made by a local soothsayer regarding a jewelry theft. This incident arose in the context of a family wedding where jewelry worth millions of rupees went missing shortly after the event, sparking suspicion and accusations against the sisters. The family reported that following the theft, they were summoned to the police station for questioning, during which they claim they were assaulted and coerced into signing documents under duress.

The family had initially reported the theft on February 11 after receiving a call from a relative indicating that valuable jewelry had been stolen on February 6. Following the shocking revelations, the family sought help from the police, wanting a thorough investigation into the theft. However, instead of receiving assistance, the police reportedly based their actions on a soothsayer's advice, leading to the unjust treatment of the sisters. In light of these events, the family protested at the district police superintendent's office, demanding a fair investigation and justice for the alleged mistreatment.

The situation has escalated and drawn political attention, highlighting the serious issues surrounding law enforcement practices and the influence of superstitions in criminal investigations. The incident raises important questions about the accountability of the police, the necessity of evidence-based investigation procedures, and the rights of individuals to be protected from wrongful allegations and violence. As investigations continue, the family's plight underscores the broader societal issues of gender injustice and the need for reform in policing practices in India.
