An Amritsar foundry owner, Jaspreet Singh, hung a worker and thrashed him mercilessly last Thursday, while his accomplices shot a video on their mobile.
The factory worker's injury-ridden body was found later dumped at a nearby road.
The video, which shows the migrant labourer, Ram Singh, screaming in pain and begging for mercy, has gone viral. The 34-minute long barbaric footage shows people laughing at his plight and hurling abuses in Punjabi.
Jaspreet Singh had accused Ram Singh of theft. He was reportedly taken away forcibly from his house in Khankot village and there was no news of him till his body was found. The video footage below shows what happened to him in the intervening period.
Amritsar police have booked a case under section 302, 365 and 34 IPC against Jaspreet Singh and two unidentified persons. All the accused have been absconding.
