In the Madhya Pradesh region of Neemuch, an elderly man was severely assaulted for reportedly destroying an idol of God. After a video of the incident went viral, police filed a report.
Kamal Das, a native of Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh, has been identified as the victim. According to police, Kamal Das is mentally ill and has been living in a cremation yard for several years.
Around 7 pm on Friday, a group of youngsters circled Kamal Das at Moolchand Marg, screaming and humiliating him before attacking the unarmed victim.
As shown in the video, the barbaric act took place based on a suspicion that the victim had broken an idol at a temple. The offenders can be seen beating Kamal Das, pulling him by his hair and repeatedly striking him with a stick.
Nobody intervened or attempted to stop the youngsters from attacking Das as the crowd gathered to see the spectacle. ‘They broke his hand,’ one spectator can be heard saying.
