Encroachment of the house of miscreants who misbehaved and pressurised for religious conversion were razed by district administration and police in the state capital on Monday.

People with such a hateful mentality and their work has to be crushed. That action should be taken in Bhopal, which becomes an example for the whole of Madhya Pradesh.
In the video, the victim is sitting on his knees. A belt is tied around the neck. One of the accused tightens his throat by pulling the belt and says, 'Be a dog, say sorry...'.
The young man says- 'Sahil Bhai is my father, my brother's elder brother.'
