Agra police investigate video of man assaulting woman with stick

Police in the Ekta police station area of Agra have launched an investigation following a viral video showing a man brutally assaulting a woman with a stick. The assailant, identified as the victim's brother-in-law, reportedly attacked her during a family dispute.

The footage shows the man repeatedly striking the woman while she attempts to defend herself and cries for help. Despite bystanders being present during the incident, no one intervened before the event was recorded and shared on social media.

The incident has drawn criticism regarding the effectiveness of the Uttar Pradesh government’s ‘Mission Shakti 6.0’ campaign, which aims to ensure the safety and dignity of women. Authorities stated they are working to identify the individual in the video and establish the exact circumstances of the attack.
