A Muslim youngster was thrashed by a man allegedly for drinking water from a temple, in photos that have stunned many online. The man asks the boy his name and his father’s name before enquiring about the child’s involvement in a mosque, according to a video of the incident that has gone viral.

Although the video starts off with the man embracing the boy in a welcoming way, the mood rapidly switches. The guy in the video starts punching him as soon as he reveals that he had come to drink water And as the kid lies over, the abuse continues. Instead, the person behind the camera simply changes the angle and keeps filming the assault.

The video has since gone viral, with the Ghaziabad Police Department finally announcing that Shringi Nandan Yadav had been arrested. It was uncertain if the camera operator or anybody else involved in the incident had been identified.

The person who formed the squad and beat him up – Shringi Nandan Yadav, son Ashwani Kumar Yadav, resident of Gopalpur Police Station, Bhagalpur, Bihar – was arrested and the process for case registration / legal action was initiated, according to the UP Police.

Netizens have been shocked and enraged by the video. The clip was posted to a now-defunct Instagram account named “hinduektasanghh,” which had also shared other content along the same lines, according to details shared by Alt News co-founder Muhammed Zubair. Shringi Nandan Yadav was also tagged in the Instagram post, who seemed entertained and encouraged by his antics.

People have even taken to social media to condemn the mysterious person behind the camera. After capturing the kid, the two debated their course of action, according to the video, and only assaulted him until the cameras were rolling. While some tried to protect the perpetrators by claiming that there was something to the incident, social media users were able to shut down skeptics.

Several lawmakers have also spoken out against the film. “Ye kis Raamaayan, Geeta ya Ved ka gyaan hai? Ye kaun sa vasudhaiva kutumbakam?” Sanjay Singh, a member of the AAP, asked.

“So much for sabka saath, savka vishwas when Muslims are being beaten for drinking water. The BJP has rewarded hatred and terror! “Salman Nizami, the supposed Congress leader.
