Police have identified the accused as Ismail K Kukura, who drives an auto and hails from Rampura village.

The victim, who is now being treated for her injuries, has been identified as Asha D Agasara. She works in a jewellery shop near the Darga.

In the video, the woman can be seen lying in the middle of the road as the accused hits her repeatedly with a machete.
