A video showing a man brutally thrashing his wife on a busy road in full public view in Uttar Pradesh’s Jhansi on June 25 has surfaced on social media.
In the video, the man, identified as Shivam Yadav, can be seen pulling his wife’s hair and hitting her with his elbow before she falls on the road. What is more worrisome is that nobody present at the scene came to rescue the woman, and neither did anyone try to intervene and pacify the man.
