Police intensify efforts to arrest suspects who stripped and beat a man in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, caught on video.
Police said they have intensified efforts to arrest people who allegedly stripped a man and thrashed him with sticks in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh. A purported video of the incident has brought the four-month-old case to the spotlight.
The video shows a man being asked to strip in a secluded location as two men hold his hands and another man hits him with a stick.
In the video, he is seen verbally abused, and mercilessly beaten despite repeated pleas for mercy and his cries are ignored. The video, which surfaced online on Tuesday and has been widely viewed on social media, shows the man screaming in pain and eventually collapsing to the ground.
Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) leader Arvind Rajbhar told PTI on Wednesday the matter was "extremely serious".
Arvind, who is the son of U.P. Cabinet Minister and president of SBSP Om Prakash Rajbhar, said he discussed the issue with Deputy Superintendent of Police Alok Gupta and Rasra SHO Vipin Singh on Wednesday.
DSP Alok Gupta confirmed to PTI that the police have obtained non-bailable warrants against the accused from a local court in Ballia and are trying to arrest them.
Station House Officer (SHO) of the police station Vipin Singh told PTI on Wednesday that the incident occurred on March 13.
