India police act on viral video assaults in Barmer and Delhi

In Barmer, Rajasthan, a youth was violently assaulted after being restrained, having his moustache and hair cut, and forced to wear a necklace of shoes. The incident was recorded and spread on social media, prompting local police to detain suspect Swaroop Nath and launch a detailed investigation.

In Delhi, a young man deliberately harassed women on the road by nudging their scooters, recording the acts for online views. After the video went viral, Delhi police arrested the perpetrator, issued a public warning using a Bollywood‑style message, and emphasized that such endangerment of women will not be tolerated.
