MP: First the urine incident in Sidhi, then after the merciless thrashing of tribal minor boys in Indore by Muslims, now a video of a Dalit youth being stripped naked and brutally thrashed in Sagar has come to notice.
This video is said to be about 8 months old. Police have identified the victim. Now the accused are being searched.
The video, which recently went viral, brought the incident to the attention of the police, leading to an immediate investigation.
Authorities were able to identify the victim and have initiated a series of inquiries to uncover the identities of the accused.
The victim, identified as Manoj from a village in the Makroniya area, was caught by a group of individuals who suspected him of theft near Dharam Kanta on Bhopal Road. They took him to a room where they thrashed him mercilessly.
The distressing footage reveals the young man, naked and seated against a wall, while two individuals on either side torturing and beating him with sticks. The victim is seen extending his hands with open palms, which are then repeatedly beaten by sticks.
The victim is seen pleading to leave him, even urging the accused to end his life instead of torturing him.
However, his pleas go unanswered as they still beat him more than before. The video also captures the name "Dharmendra" being mentioned by one of the attackers.
SP Vikram has confirmed that a search is currently underway to locate the accused individuals involved in this heinous crime. Efforts are being made to gather more information about the victim, Manoj.
