Satna (Madhya Pradesh): A video is doing the rounds on social media, in which a man is seen brutally beating a young man on suspicion of theft — but when he was searched, only a dry roti and a small packet of salt were found on him.
The video captures a horrifying scene, the man is seen hitting the other again and again with a stick. Instead of fighting back or running, he calmly tries to stop the man, raising his hand in quiet defence. He doesn’t shout, doesn’t scream. He just tries to protect himself — with silence.
Check out the video below :
The video has left people across social media shocked and heartbroken. Many users are questioning the very state of humanity, asking how someone could beat a helpless young man so mercilessly without even knowing the truth.
As, later, when the boy was searched, no stolen item was found. All he had on him was two dry rotis and a small packet of salt, perhaps his only meal of the day. That’s all. Roti and namak. Hunger — not theft, was his crime.
Even more shocking is the fact that people around are simply watching. No one steps in to stop the beating. No one questions the attacker. The boy is alone, surrounded by a crowd.
Comments are flooding in, calling the act not just cruel but inhuman — especially after it was revealed that all he had on him was a dry roti and some salt.
People are asking, “Have we become so blind that we punish hunger with violence?” Others are demanding action against the man who beat him, while some are simply expressing deep sadness over the kind of society we are turning into — one where the poor are not helped, but humiliated.
This video isn’t just viral content, it’s a warning. A call to wake up. A reminder of the humanity we are slowly losing, one silent child at a time.
