India: In a shocking incident from Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district, a 24-year-old man was filmed brutally assaulting a 19-year-old woman for allegedly refusing to marry him.
A viral video of the heart-wrenching attack showed the couple walking while holding hands when suddenly the man slaps her, grabs her hair, and slams her into the ground head-first. He then mercilessly kicks her with full force in the face and all over her body.
The woman appears unconscious from the attack, and the man tried to steady her on her feet while instructing his friend who was recording the video to delete the footage. The woman was seen lying unconscious for hours on the side of the road.
The distressing video was shot on Wednesday in the Mauganj area of Rewa.
The police registered a case against the two men under different sections of the law, including the IT Act, and arrested the accused, Pankaj Tripathi, and the man who was recording the video. Pankaj Tripathi was caught from Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh after being on the run for days. Police are now interrogating both men.
Pankaj allegedly got furious when the woman refused to marry him, as her family didn't approve.
Locals found the woman unconscious on the side of the road and informed the police, who took her to the hospital for treatment and also registered a case.
