Gujarat Horror: Man Forced to Lick Assailant's Feet at Knifepoint in Viral Video, Police Investigation Underway

Ahmedabad:

Disturbing footage has surfaced from Surat, Gujarat, showing a 26-year-old man being humiliated and forced to lick another individual's feet while being threatened at knifepoint. The perpetrator has been identified in the videos as 'Bhola Bhai'.

The victim, a dhaba worker originally from Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district, was subjected to this degrading treatment following a dispute with the accused.

In one video, the victim can be heard begging, "Bhola Bhai, please forgive me. I will never come to Surat again," as the assailant holds a knife to his throat. Additional footage shows the young man being repeatedly slapped and forced to lick the perpetrator's feet. Throughout the ordeal, the accused continued pulling the victim's hair and threatening him.

After the videos became viral online, the victim disappeared from his workplace. He had informed his employer two days prior that he was traveling to meet a friend in Pune, and his mobile phone remained switched off afterward.

The victim's family in Sidhi learned about the incident after the videos circulated widely. Growing concerned when they couldn't reach him, they approached the Bahari police station with fears for his safety. His family filed a formal complaint requesting authorities to ensure his safe return, noting that he was the family's primary earner.

Madhya Pradesh police have since located the man in Pune, where he had sought refuge with a friend after the traumatic experience. Authorities have now brought him back to his home state.

Officials have stated that a comprehensive investigation into the incident will be conducted, with further action pending after recording the victim's official statement.
