The first video showing the assault and abuse of Sri Ram by a group led by a youngster, purported to be Bhagirath, went viral on social media on Tuesday. The video showed the victim cowering in fear being beaten and abused by the assailant, who is heard challenging the victim to lodge a complaint with the threat that he would be done away with.
The viral video soon assumed political cover with netizens questioning whether Bandi Sanjay’s son was the role model for youth
Sometime later, another video surfaced with the victim, Sri Ram claiming that he and Bhagirath were friends and the incident occurred after he “misbehaved” with a girl who was the sister of Bhagirath’s friend.
He is heard saying, “My name is Sri Ram. I called and texted Bhagirath’s friend’s sister at 4 am to love me and misbehaved with her. As Bhagirath got to know this, he spoke on the same but I was rude that time, so, Bhagirath beat me up. But now we are friends. The earlier video is inconsequential now that we are friends”.
He goes on to assert that they all have forgotten the episode and that now there were no issues between them. “That video is useless. Whatever, happened is happened. Now, we are on good terms. The video is only being used to create differences between us and blackmail us,” Sri Ram says in the video.
Meanwhile, the Dundigal Police registered cases against Bhagirath Sai under different sections and investigating the matter.
