Satna, Madhya Pradesh: A policeman, surrounded by others, stands above a man lying on the ground. The policeman, who is in uniform, raises a stick - a huge lathi -and brings it down on the man. The gathered crowd shouts "Maaro, maaro (beat him)." The policeman continues. At least seven blows are delivered. The man starts bleeding.
The victim, a 40-year-old naked Ram Krishna Agarwal - is mentally challenged. He lives with his family in Satna in Madhya Pradesh. When they saw the police attacking him, they were too intimidated to intervene.
The police later ties up Ram Krishna and drags him by his legs on the ground before moving him to a police station.
Nobody steps forward to help the victim. Local media and camerapersons - none of them from NDTV -say they filmed the incident as evidence of police brutality against a helpless man.
Ram Krishna allegedly got into a fight with his neighbours in his village in Madhya Pradesh's Satna district because they were mocking his mental ability. When he got into a fight with them, neighbours called the police. Ram Krishna, now agitated, tried to fight two constables. The head of the local police station - named Balbir Singh Jaggi - then arrived. He is the one who is seen attacking Ram Krishna with brute force. He has since been suspended by the state's Home Minister, Uma Shankar Gupta.
Ram Krishna was taken the police station and released after an hour. His family took him to a local hospital and has now moved him home.
