Brutal: 10-Year-Old Boy Screams In Pain As Maulana Rains Lashes On Him With Stick At Saharahpur Madrasa | VIDEO

Saharanpur: A deeply alarming video has surfaced from a madrasa in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, where a maulana was purportedly seen brutally beating a 10-year-old boy 36 times with a stick as the former yelped in pain.

The video showed the maulana raining lashes on the small boy who laid flat on the ground, screaming in pain and crying for his mother. As the first round of beating ended, the boy was seen rubbing his body in extreme pain.

The brutality did not end here as the boy was subjected to another round of physical torture thereafter. The boy pleaded to be let off, however a maulana held both his legs as the other maulana continued raining him with lashes. 

‘This Cannot Be Tolerated’

The video of the torture has sent shockwaves amongst the public who have demanded strict action against the accused. A woman said, “This is heartbreaking… no child should ever go through something like this…It’s deeply disturbing to see such cruelty, especially in a place meant for learning. Strict action is absolutely necessary…This cannot be tolerated."
