WhatsApp campaign 'Stop the V ritual' faces wrath

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], Jan 22 (ANI): Three members of 'Stop the V ritual', a WhatsApp group formed to spread awareness against an ill-practice that determines the virginity of a bride on the wedding night, were allegedly thrashed by the members of their own community here on Sunday.
