On the 19th of July, Wednesday, a video of a group of youth seen urinating on the face of a tribal youth after assaulting him went viral on social media platforms.
In the shocking visuals reported from Ongole town of Prakasam district, a profusely bleeding victim is seen pleading the attackers to spare him. Not stopping at that, some of the accused urinated on the victim’s mouth and asked him to drink it.
The incident occurred in Ongole a month back and went viral recently, after the Madhya Pradesh urination row.
Getting into the details, the incident was the fallout of a rivalry between the accused and the victim. Both the accused and the victim were having a criminal background and have been identified as Anji, the accused and Naveen, the victim.
Furthermore, speaking of their rivalries, Ramananjeyulu alias Anji, the main accused in the case, and Naveen are said to be childhood friends. Both were involved in more than 50 cases of theft. Naveen was arrested by police and jailed in a few cases while Anji had somehow managed to escape the police dragnet. Differences cropped up between them recently.
About a month ago, Anji called Naveen to a place behind KIMS Medical College. When Naveen reached there, Anji was present with eight others. They had a heated argument. The assailants, who were drunk, thrashed Naveen mercilessly. When he was lying on the ground with bleeding injuries, at least three of the offenders urinated on his face. They also filmed their act on mobile phones. They are heard asking the victim to drink the urine.
The viral video which came on the lines of Madhya Pradesh urination row on a tribal man, triggered outrage amongst the community of tribals in Andhra Pradesh.
On a complaint by the victim, police had registered a case under the Scheduled Caste Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, but apparently no arrests were made. After one of the accused uploaded the video on social media and it triggered an outrage, police swung into action and made some arrest.
