The 22-year-old was assaulted by fellow students in a hostel room at a private university in Himachal Pradesh.
After trying and failing to impose their will on a fellow student, some students from a private university in Himachal Pradesh kept him confined to a room for the entire night, thrashed him and whipped him with a belt. His crime? The students wanted him to drink alcohol and he refused.
The assault on the student was caught on camera and five of his college mates, most of whom are younger than him, have been arrested.
According to the first information report (FIR) filed in the case, 22-year-old Rajat Kumar, a first-year MBA student at Bahra University in Himachal Pradesh's Solan, who lived in the university hostel, was asked by two of his fellow students to accompany them to another room on Saturday. When Kumar refused, they dragged him to the room, where a few other students were present. The students asked Kumar to consume alcohol and beat him up - raining kicks and punches and whipping him with a belt - when he refused.
