A video of a law student being beaten by a group of college students in his hostel room in Hyderabad is going viral on social media. A student is forced to chant a religious slogan and is mercilessly beaten by a group of students in the video. The incident occurred at ICFAI Business School in Dhonthanpally village in Telangana, according to Telangana Police. The victim is a law undergraduate student in her first semester.
According to the video, Himank Bansal, a third-year student at ICFAI Foundation for Higher Education (IFHE) in Hyderabad, was slapped, kicked, and had his hands twisted. As the accused continued to beat him, he can be heard chanting “Jai Mata Di” and “Allahu Akbar.”
