More than 50 people watched a father beat his daughter in the middle of a road because he heard a false rumour that she was dating . Raja Ram grabbed his daughter by the hair before slapping and kicking her continuously near the Domlur flyover , India , around 8.30am yesterday . One of the silent bystanders was the girl 's mother . The victim was only rescued after two female workers from a nearby firm wrestled Ram , a sub-inspector for Madurai police , off her and locked her in their car for more than 30 minutes . Niveditha and Archana said they were on their way to breakfast when they saw the 'shocking ' attack , the Times of India reported . After the incident Niveditha wrote on Facebook page The Logical Indian : 'On our way to [ the ] office , me and my friend Archana were shocked to see a girl aged about 25 being beaten black and blue by a strong well built man , with at least 50 people standing on the street and simply watching . 'He was grabbing the girl by her hair , slapping her , kicking her in the groin as she fell down on the road . 'Archana started pushing the man while I tried untangling the girls hair from his fingers ' ( sic ) . The two women described how they initially tried to get a young man with a motorcycle to take the girl but Ram stole the keys . They then tried to hire a rickshaw but Ram again got in their way . Eventually the two women locked the young girl in their car and called the police , who arrived half and hour later to find Ram sitting on the bonnet . Niveditha said : 'The parents had heard rumours of their daughter having an affair and was hence `` teaching her a lesson '' , refusing to listen to her or believe her denying the affair . 'The father wanted to take her back to Madurai , against the wishes of the daughter and forcibly marry her to someone of their choice .

But no one did . ' When they got to the police station the girl decided that she did not want to file a complaint and Ram has been let go . A police spokesman said : 'This is a minor incident and a family matter . Also , no complaint has been filed . ' There will be no further investigations . The Facebook post has since been liked by nearly 35,000 people . It comes days after documentary India 's Daughter , about a 2012 gang rape on a 23-year-old girl , was banned from being broadcast in India over fear it would fuel public anger .
