A disturbing video was shot and circulated on social media of a Muslims man tied to a tree, tonsured and being forced to chant “Jai Shree Ram”. The video is of Bair villager in Bulandshahr and the young man’s father has alleged that his son has been arrested by the police and there’s pressure on him to “compromise” in the case.
The video itself is heartbreaking as the men surrounding him (who cannot be seen in the video) are clearly having fun as they can be heard at his condition. The man can be seen looking miserable and helpless. The young man was being subjected to such torture on suspicion of theft.
In UP’s Bulandshahr district, a Muslim man named Sahil was tied to a tree, shaved bald, and forced to chant “Jai Shri Ram” on suspicion of mobile theft. The police sent Sahil to jail for theft.

His father, Shakeel, while speaking to some local news media narrated the incident, trying to control his tears, “He was returning from work to have food but he never came home. He was tied to a tree and was thrashed with a belt mercilessly. Nobody is listening to us. We went to the police and they instead arrested our son. We have given the name of the culprits but now they are threatening us to compromise.”
He said the accused belonged to Mali, Thakur and Pandit castes. He said that the video was shot by them. With tears in eyes, with no hope in sight he said, “We just want justice”.
