Bengaluru man who kicked child in viral video mentally unsound? Thyagarajanagar horror explodes on internet

In an incident that will send a chill through one's spine, a Bengaluru man was caught on camera kicking a child in broad daylight. A CCTV camera captured the man charging at the child, who was beside his mother in the alley, and kicking him forcefully from behind before walking away as if nothing had happened. The child's mother was playing badminton and did not realise the severity of the situation initially, as she saw the child falling but did not see him being kicked. Meanwhile, a two-wheeler rider was seen stopping his scooter after witnessing the horrific episode in full.

After the video was shared online, a massive public outrage was witnessed, demanding action against the accused. Later, reports claimed that the accused man was identified by the police and arrested. "The Banashankari Police have arrested a 35-year-old man after CCTV footage showed him kicking a five-year-old boy who was playing outside his house in Thyagarajanagar, South Bengaluru," a user said on X. "The boy sustained abrasions on his face, legs, and hands in the fall. His mother, Deepika Jain, who had come to her brother’s house with her son, lodged a complaint at Banashankari Police Station," the post further said.
