"We arrested nine people on Wednesday and nine more on Thursday under various sections including attempt to murder and the Rajasthan Prevention of Witch Hunting Act," a police official said. The fathers of the young man and young woman have also been arrested.

A young man in early 20s was in relationship with a girl in a village. The two fled to Gujarat. The villagers claimed the two descended from the same blood lineage, were cousins and forced them to return to Rajasthan. A video of the violence on Sunday went viral, alerting the police.
