Ballia, Uttar Pradesh – A disturbing video has surfaced from Ballia district, showing a man being stripped and mercilessly beaten with sticks by a group of men. The video, which emerged on social media on Tuesday, has drawn widespread outrage and renewed police action on a four-month-old case.
In the video, the victim is seen being forced to strip while two men hold him down and a third assaults him with a stick. Despite his desperate screams and pleas for mercy, the attackers continue the assault, hurling verbal abuse and showing no signs of restraint. The man eventually collapses to the ground in agony.
The incident reportedly took place on March 13, but only came to public attention after the video went viral.
Political Leaders React
Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) leader Arvind Rajbhar, son of Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar, termed the incident “extremely serious” and said he had spoken with Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Alok Gupta and Rasra SHO Vipin Singh regarding immediate action.
Police Action Underway
DSP Alok Gupta confirmed that non-bailable warrants have been obtained against the accused from a local court in Ballia. Efforts are ongoing to arrest the culprits.
Station House Officer (SHO) Vipin Singh stated that a case has been registered against the accused Prince Singh alias Manvendra Singh, Samrat Singh, Dhannu Singh, and Raj Nishad based on a complaint filed by the victim, Abhishek Rajbhar, a resident of Katuhra village.
According to the FIR, Abhishek was allegedly abducted around noon on March 13, forced into a car by the accused, and taken to an unknown location where he was stripped, thrashed, and threatened with death. He later managed to escape and reported the matter.
Sections Invoked
The police have registered the case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Further investigation is underway.
