MP: Leashed like a dog, man made to bark on road; 6 arrested as video goes viral WATCH

After a video of a youth apparently tied to a leash and forced to behave as a dog in Madhya Pradesh’s capital Bhopal went viral Monday, police registered a case against six Muslim youth.

“I am ready to become a Muslim,” victim Vijay can be seen pleading after the six accused allegedly ambushed him and made him act like a dog.

In the video, the victim was shown tethered to a leash made of a belt strapped around his neck like a dog collar, the other end of which is allegedly being held by Sahil.

The victim can be repeatedly seen apologising. The perpetrators, however, continued to abuse him, dragging him around and demanding that he “bark like a dog”.

One of the accused can be seen tightening the leash around the victim’s neck, barking the order: “Be a dog, say sorry…”

“Sahil Bhai is my father, he is my elder brother,” victim Vijay can be seen crying in agony.

“Say, Faizan bhai is also your father,” shouted another accused as Vijay can be seen complying.

In the video clip, the accused holding the leash keeps telling the victim to bark like a dog.

“I haven’t done anything; your friends are the ones responsible,” Vijay can be seen responding.

Referring to one Shahrukh, the victim can be heard saying, “He threatened me, I swear on my mother. I haven’t done anything. I am willing to convert to Islam.”

The police ascertained the incident took place in the Tila Jamalpura area of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
