New Delhi, Sep 4: A minor boy was beaten up and forced to strip inside a moving DTC bus by some passengers who suspected him of being a thief and a video of the incident has surfaced on social media, forcing police to look into the incident.
"We are checking the video and trying to identify the location where the incident happened. We will talk to the bus drivers and conductors who ply on the route, following which the appropriate actions will be taken against the culprits," a senior police officer said about the incident that supposedly happened last Thursday.

The boy was beaten by a mob and had his clothes forcibly removed on suspicion of theft. He was then thrown out of the bus while he was naked. @DelhiPolice must take action against these barbarians."
