In the video the villagers are seen surrounding the siblings who were sitting around a tree with their hands tied. Apparently, the man was stripped.
Matter reported in Bamanda village

The villagers reportedly refused to stop even as Kalavati's husband told them over a phone call that Gyanlal is his brother-in-law.
Police have registered a case in the matter based on Gyanlal’s complaint and are searching for the 3 accused.
