A video that’s been making rounds on social media has raised concerns about student behaviour and safety at Amity University in Lucknow, according to the viral video and media reports. It shows a law student being slapped repeatedly by two classmates while inside a car, sparking debates about how students treat each other and the overall discipline on campus.
Physical assault caught on cameraThe video shows a male and a female student repeatedly slapping a fellow law student while he tries to protect his face with his hands. During the assault, the female student is heard asking, “Kya bola tha character?” and the male student questions, “Janvi ke baare mein bolega? Somiya ke baare mein bolega?” The assault appears to end only when two other boys present in the car intervene and ask the attackers to stop. The victim is seen apologizing multiple times during the episode.
Incident took place on August 26; motive remains unknownAccording to a report by The Free Press Journal, the incident took place on August 26 in the university’s parking lot. The reason for the attack is still unclear, and neither the authorities nor the university has explained what led to it.
