Four boys in Bihar’s Begusarai district were beaten and tied to a pole after allegedly stealing Kurkure and biscuit packets from a grocery shop, according to the police. The incident occurred on October 28 in Fazilpur village of Birpur and came to light when a video of the incident went viral on social media platforms.
The video shows the boys with their hands tied to a pole while several people stand nearby. The shopkeeper has been charged in the case. Begusarai SP Yogendra Kumar stated during the investigation that the shopkeeper caught some boys stealing from his shop and took matters into his own hands.
