In Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, police have arrested three individuals for allegedly kidnapping and assaulting a 22-year-old man during the night of April 26-27, 2023. The victim, Jaswant Markam, was taken from a local bus stand and assaulted when he refused to provide information about a friend. The assailants stripped Markam and urinated on his face, filming the act to humiliate him further. This video was later circulated on social media, prompting widespread outrage. Police have registered a case against seven individuals under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and have formed three teams to apprehend the remaining suspects. The police commissioner, Sanjay Kumar, stated that if the victim is found to belong to a tribal community, additional legal provisions will be applied. The incident echoes a previous case in 2023, where a similar act occurred against a tribal youth in Sidhi district, which also went viral.
