Lucknow: A law student from Amity University was reportedly slapped 26 times inside a car in the parking lot of the university campus by a male and a female student. A video of the incident has surfaced and is going viral on social media.
The video shows the student being repeatedly slapped and verbally abused. The person assaulting him can also be heard telling him to remove his hand, which he had placed on his face in an attempt to defend himself.
The girl slapping him can be heard saying, “Kya bola tha character?” which roughly translates to, “What did you say about character?” The victim can be heard apologising. The boy slapping him is heard saying, “Janvi ke baare mein bolega? Somiya ke baare mein bolega?” — which roughly translates to, “You will speak about Janvi? You will speak about Somiya?”
The assault reportedly ends when two other boys sitting in the car ask the attacker to let the victim go. The incident took place on 26 August and the reason behind the assault remains unclear.
