The Madhya Pradesh High Court has banned an Indore-based organization from burning effigies of Sonam Raghuvanshi and other women accused of criminal charges during Dussehra festivities. The ruling came following a petition by Sonam's mother, as her daughter faces trial for allegedly orchestrating her husband's murder during their honeymoon in Meghalaya. The court deemed such practices unacceptable in a democratic society.
