Family members of the woman alleged that she was ruthlessly beaten up during a police raid Friday. She complained of a chest pain and later passed away.
The villagers alleged that police raided the woman's house based on false information given by her estranged son-in-law, who works as a police informer, that there were stocks of some contraband herb called dioscerea in her house, which is found in the valley forests and used in making drugs.u00a0
