Thereafter, the neck of the thieves is lowered and the head and the chest are tied tightly. When they exhale their breathing stops due to the tight bondage and their eyes bulge out.

The employees working under the jail superintendent cause them tortures of various types. They tie their forehead tightly with leather stripes. They twist or split their thighs. They put their knees, elbows, fi wrists and other joints in a special type of wooden block. They prick their body with hot iron needles. They peal their body with planing tool like planing of the wood. They hurt their delicate parts. They put salt on their wounds. They put bitter substances like neem and chilly powder on the soft parts of their body. Thus they are tortured in many ways.

(The tortures are not stopped at this stage). A heavy piece of wood is placed on their chest and then it is pressed hard or the piece of wood is hit against them. As a result of it their bones get fractured and their ribs get loosened. Point sharp iron rods similar to those used to catch fist are pressed into their chest, belly, waist and back. Then they bemoan bitterly because of pain. Thus the heart of those who commit adattadan is shaken through suchlike tortures and every limb of their body is adversely affected.
Some thieves have not committed a grave crime. But the policemen, who are inimical towards them, beat them like guardians of hell. Thus the unfortunate thieves are beaten with slaps, fists, leather belts, iron rods, sharp iron weapons, lashes, legs, thick ropes and cane. Their limbs are troubled by hundreds of suchlike beatings. They become deeply sad due to the wounds on their loosely hanging skin. Their limbs shrink as they have to wear iron fetters; they also twist and become numb. The officials do not allow them even to go for a call of nature. They are not allowed even to utter a word. Their movement is stopped. The persons who commit the sin of adattadan undergo suchlike many tortures and troubles.
