A shocking video making rounds on social media on Friday showed a bike-borne man spanking a girl and then fleeing the scene in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar.
In the video, the man, wearing shorts and riding a motorcycle, is seen slapping the girl’s butt from behind before speeding off, leaving the girl standing in shock.
According to media reports, hours after the incident according to media reports, the accused in this case has been arrested by the police and taken into custody.
Watch the video here:
Local reports suggest that the man is a habitual offender, known for carrying a bottle of acid to intimidate girls. He has reportedly been harassing girls in the area for the past three months.
Reacting to the video, Muzaffarnagar police posted on X (formerly Twitter): “In the related case, a case has been registered by Civil Lines Police Station under relevant sections and meaningful efforts are being made to arrest the accused. The arrest of the accused will be ensured soon.”
Soon after the video went viral on social media, netizens demanded immediate action against the man.
One X user @veeru1006 said, “Maffarnagar police is requested to treat him properly, this beast should not be able to stand on his feet for at least a few months.”
Another user @SunilKu95601251 said,”For how long will we keep fearing him? If the administration is not taking any action, then the local people should catch him and punish him so that he cannot dare to do such a thing.”
"But why is the police not taking action? Whose pressure is this?” asked @yadavtejendr.
“He seems to be mentally ill and he needs to be treated by law,” said @Naushad45150500.
