Mentally Challenged Man Attacked In Madhya Pradesh

A disturbing video from Madhya Pradesh - that shows a mentally-challenged man being brutally thrashed - has caught the attention of officials who've promised tough action against the accused.

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.
