When Shaan refuses to give up his seat, the American student gets angry and starts choking him. He presses the boy’s neck from behind with his elbow before choking him and pushing him against his seat.

The video sparked anger and criticism on social media. What’s even more infuriating is the fact that the boy who bullied Shaan was suspended for one day while Shaan was suspended for three days.

So disturbing, please take appropriate action against the management so we should be theirs next easy target? @DrSJaishankar https://t.co/iPOQIsPm6W

I’m so disappointed and disgusted. Texas needs to take action! What are we teaching our kids! #bullying is not okay. Choking another student is not OK! @BetoORourke #shaanpritmani #StopBullying https://t.co/FWwgwdvlZk

I’m horrified by this. Shaan Pritmani did not deserve what happened to him. Shame on that bully, shame on the school administration, and shame on all those students who watched and laughed as a classmate was physically assaulted. No one stood up for that boy and it is SICK. https://t.co/13gDCvTDRl
