Bengaluru: Three teenage school boys in Bengaluru were stripped naked and badly beaten up by a group of men for allegedly stealing money from a shop near Hoskote in city's rural district.

The video which shows a group of men repeatedly beating three boys with a stick and chasing them all across a deserted area even as they cry out in pain went viral on Saturday.

All four persons were arrested on Saturday in connection with the Thursday’s incident, said Police.

“They beat them, accused them of stealing from the shop; there are bruises all over their body...After getting to know about the incident we took him to hospital for treatment and then gave a complaint,” father of one of the victims said.

“The boys were picked up after school by the group and taken to a nearby deserted area to be tortured. They are 8th standard students and were on fast (Ramzan),” a relative of one of the victims said.

Parents alleged that the boys were even given shock treatment by the men, one of whom was the shopkeeper’s son.

Police said they are on the lookout for some other men, including the shopkeeper’s son.

Families of the boys had earlier charged the police with inaction over the case. Karnataka State Child Rights Commission is also seized of the matter.
