Agra (PTI): Eight people were booked and five arrested for allegedly attacking a tourist in Agra after a purported video of the assault surfaced online, police said on Tuesday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Suraj Kumar Rai said a purported CCTV footage of the incident came to notice on Monday evening. "As per the footage, the incident took place on Sunday evening at a sweets shop on Fatehabad Road under the Tajganj police station limits," he said.
"In the video, four to five people are seen attacking a youth, who seemed to be a tourist having a car with a Delhi registration number. Based on the CCTV footage, an FIR has been registered against eight residents of Karbhana village," Rai said.
Tajganj police station in-charge Devendra Shankar Pandey said the identity of the tourist is yet to be ascertained. The FIR was registered by Sub-inspector Yogesh Kumar of the Basai outpost on the basis of the CCTV footage received from the sweets shop on Fatehabad Road near Basai Chowki.
He said five people, identified as Deepak, Saurabh, Brijesh, Sunil and Karan, all aged between 20 and 22 years have been arrested.
Agra police denied allegations whether the attackers were 'Kanwariyas'. DCP Rai said the attackers were seen wearing shoes and slippers. They did not seem to be devotees or 'parikarmarthi', he added.

Death toll from Israeli strikes in northeast Lebanon rises from 8 to 24, Lebanese news agency says
Deir al-Balah, Nov 1: Israeli airstrikes on Friday killed at least 24 people in northeastern Lebanon, the country's news agency said, raising the death toll from eight there.
It was the latest deadly toll in the area since the conflict between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah escalated last month.
Israel's military has said that its operation in Lebanon is targeting Hezbollah's military infrastructure.
Lebanon's state National news Agency reported four airstrikes in different villages across country's northeast, saying rescuers were still searching for survivors in Younine, a town in the Bekaa Valley, from the rubble of a targeted house.
Hussein Haj Hassan, a Lebanese lawmaker representing the region in Baalbek-Hermel region, said that 60,000 people have already fled their homes in the area due to Israeli bombardment.
