Three car dealers were kidnapped and subjected to electric shock torture on their private parts in Karnataka’s Kalaburagi district. Disturbing videos, which went viral on social media, show the kidnappers administering electric shocks to the men’s private parts while they were naked.
Police on Saturday arrested seven individuals for the brutal torture of the three men.
“Videos of some males being beaten by other males [by making nude] are circulating in Kalaburgi city. In this regard, an FIR was registered on May 5 and 7 accused have already been arrested,” police said.
Those arrested have been identified as Imran Patel, Mohammad Matheen alias Steel Matheen, Mohammad Zia Ul Hussain, Mohammad Afzal Sheik, Hussain Sheik, Ramesh, and Sagar, who were a part of a larger gang, prompting a police search for the remaining members.
The victims filed a complaint with the police on May 5 at 9.30 pm, alleging that they were abducted on May 4 under the pretext of inspecting a second-hand car presented by the accused.
Held captive in an isolated location, the victims were subjected to physical assault with sticks and coerced for money. The accused inflicted further torment on the victims, demanding additional funds.
Police have initiated a thorough investigation into the incident.
