A viral video has taken the internet by storm, showcasing an alleged chain snatcher in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) being subjected to a rather unconventional punishment. In the video, the individual, caught red-handed after allegedly snatching a gold chain, is forced to dance to a lively Bhojpuri song. As the video progresses, the scene becomes even more bizarre, with the person who apprehended the alleged thief also joining in the dance.
The video, originally shared on the social media platform X by the account @gharkekalesh, has amassed over 1.1 million views in just 12 hours. The caption accompanying the video states, “Thief got beaten by the crowd and forced to dance on Song, Somewhere in the NCR region.”
The video has sparked a flurry of reactions online, with users expressing a range of emotions and opinions. While some commenters joked about the irony of the chain snatcher’s T-shirt, which displayed the words “The Boys” from the popular series, others raised concerns about the video’s authenticity.
Several users claimed that the video originated from Bangladesh, stemming from a period of unrest and widespread protests in early August. These users highlighted the presence of chaos and lawlessness in the country at that time, suggesting the video captured an instance of vigilante justice amidst the turmoil.
However, the authenticity of the video remains unverified. The incident raises questions about the effectiveness of such forms of punishment and the prevalence of vigilante justice in the region. It also highlights the power of social media in disseminating information, sometimes leading to misinformation and the spread of unverified content.
