7-month-old video exposes the truth: Dalit youth forced to perform obscene acts under the influence of alcohol; Amba police arrest accused Dharmendra Tomar
Morena (Madhya Pradesh): A case that shames humanity has come to light in Morena district of Madhya Pradesh. Police immediately swung into action after a video of a Dalit youth being assaulted and subjected to abusive behavior went viral on social media. Acting swiftly, the police arrested the 30-year-old accused on Tuesday.
According to police officials, this incident is not recent, but about seven months old. The arrested accused has been identified as Dharmendra Singh Tomar, a resident of Amba.
What is the whole matter?
Morena Superintendent of Police (SP) Sameer Saurabh, while providing information about the incident, said that the accused Dharmendra and the 20-year-old victim were part of the same friend circle and often spent time together.
The Hindu quoted the SP as saying, “These two people used to drink alcohol together, and this incident occurred while they were drunk. A third friend present there recorded the entire incident on his mobile phone. Later, when that third friend had an argument with the accused, Dharmendra, he circulated these videos on social media to take revenge.”
Brutality shown in the videos
Two videos that went viral on social media have shocked people. In one video, the accused, Dharmendra, is seen forcing the victim to squat and questioning him about the return of his money. In the second video, the accused is seen crossing all limits, slapping the victim and pressuring him to perform obscene acts.
Swift police action
SP Sameer Saurabh stated that a minor financial transaction has also emerged in the case, although it does not appear to be the main reason for the incident.
He said, “The victim also denied that the assault was solely for money. He was so scared that he neither told his family nor mustered the courage to file a police complaint. Even when the police contacted him, he was unwilling to file a complaint.”
Despite this, given the seriousness of the video, the police took cognizance and registered a case. Within just two hours of the case being registered, the police arrested the accused.
Case registered under these sections
Ambah Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Ravi Singh Bhadoria, providing details of the legal proceedings, said that an FIR has been registered against the accused at the Ambah police station under Section 296 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 3(1)(e) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
Bhadauria also informed that the victim previously lived in a rented house in the same street as the accused Tomar, but after this humiliating incident, he left that house and moved to another location.
