GUWAHATI, Nov 18: Two persons have been arrested by Kahilipara Police after videos surfaced showing them torturing a minor boy who was accused of stealing milk pouches from a shop.
The arrested duo has been identified as Himangshu Baishya and Jayanta Talukdar.
The incident took place at Kahilipara, Guwahati, this morning. Videos showed the boy being tied to a pole and the two persons kicking him on his face, buttocks and private parts, besides assaulting him with sticks.
Another video showed him bleeding from near his eyes.
After News Live aired videos of the torture (edited portions since it is not possible to telecast the raw visuals), it generated shock among viewers.
Police reacted to the incident and arrested the duo while rescuing the minor boy who was later given medical treatment.
