GORAKHPUR, Dec. 2 -- A viral video purportedly showing a 16-year-old boy being assaulted in Deoria's Gorai Khas locality led to strong public outrage on Sunday after the youth was allegedly whipped with a belt and forced to lick a slipper. Police said both groups had been involved in repeated disputes as they were allegedly interested in the same girl. After a scuffle on November 28, the group led by Rahul Yadav allegedly intercepted Abhishek Sharma on November 29 while he was returning home. The attackers allegedly dragged him into the lawn, beat him with a belt, and later pelted stones at his house. In the video, the boy is seen pleading with folded hands while being assaulted and made to lick a slipper. Acting on the complaint filed by the victim's mother, police registered a case under sections 115(2), 351(2), 352 and 324(4) of the BNS against four youths and arrested one accused, identified as 18-year-old Rahul Yadav, on Monday. SHO Kotwali Deoria, Vinod Kumar Singh, said raids are underway to trace the remaining accused. "In the viral video, the attackers are seen thrashing the victim with a belt before spitting on a slipper and forcing him to lick it. It is a disturbing act of cruelty," he said. CO City Deoria, Sanjay Kumar Reddy, said strict sections have been invoked in the FIR. "The video is extremely disturbing. A case has been registered under serious sections, and one accused has been detained. Teams have been deployed to arrest the remaining individuals involved," he added....
