Location and Source
The 57-second video, which has since gone viral, originates from Singrauli district in Madhya Pradesh. Journalist Ranjeet Kumar Yadav shared the footage on social media platform X, drawing widespread attention to the appalling incident.
Sequence of Events
According to available information, the truck driver visited the owner’s residence in a village within Singrauli district to discuss terminating his employment. However, instead of addressing the matter calmly, the owner flew into a rage and subjected the driver to verbal abuse.
Brutal Assault Unfolds
The video depicts the accused owner removing his shoe and using it to strike the driver repeatedly. Despite the victim’s pleas for mercy, the assailant escalates the violence by grabbing a rod and viciously beating the defenseless driver. Even as the driver begs for leniency, addressing the owner as “bhaiya” (brother) and pleading, “mat maro” (don’t hit me), the assailant callously continues the assault.
Grave Injuries and Unconsciousness
The relentless attack leaves the driver severely injured, with visible signs of trauma. Despite the victim’s loss of consciousness, the aggressor persists in his brutality, kicking the defenseless driver in the chest until he collapses. The assailant then proceeds to drag the unconscious victim and force him to sit on a sofa, exhibiting a disturbing lack of remorse or empathy.
Condemnation and Outcry
The graphic nature of the video has sparked outrage and condemnation from viewers across social media platforms, with many demanding swift justice for the victim and stringent action against the perpetrator. The incident underscores the urgent need for measures to prevent such heinous acts of violence and ensure the safety and dignity of workers in the transport sector.
