Opposition parties CPM and BJP have said the video is from Chopra in north Bengal's Uttar Dinajpur district. The incident reportedly took place over the weekend.
In the video, a man is seen repeatedly hitting a woman with sticks as a small crowd watches in silence. She screams in pain, but the assault continues. He then turns to a man and starts hitting him. Most members of the crowd, instead of trying to stop the assault, appear to be helping the assailant. At one point, the man grabs the woman by her hair and kicks her.
