What is more punishable, a crime or to encourage one? What is more cruel to beat a man to death or to watch the ordeal and egg on the murderer.

In a shocking video, that will make us question the existence of humanity among us, a poor migrant labourer was tied up, hung upside down and brutally beaten to death inside a Punjab factory.

The original 34-minute video of the ordeal and many shorter clippings have since gone viral.

The video was shot by someone on the scene who apparently didn't do anything to stop the killing. During the video at times, you can hear a voice telling the assaulter to release the victim but noone physically intervenes.

Morever these pleas are lost among the Punjabi abuses hurled at the victim and his own screams that will surely haunt your conscience. One of the onlookers can be seen smiling uncontrollably as the victim, identified as Khankot resident Ram Singh, spun around when he was hung upside down from a pulley. The main accused has been identified as Jaspreet Singh and he is on the run.

Wife of deceased Raji said that her husband Ram worked in a foundry at Focal Point. She said that few days back there was a theft in the factory for which her husband was being blamed. "Some people even came to our house and threatened my husband," she said. "On Thursday, a few people came to our house in Khankot village in an car and forcibly took away my husband. They beat him mercilessly and threw him on road. Later his body was recovered from T Point at Mehta Road," she added.

One of the resident of Khankot, Navpreet Singh said that they saw some men coming into village and forcibly bundling Ram Singh into car and later they received information that his body was recovered. "We are horrified by the incident and want strict action against those responsible for his death," said Singh.

SHO, police station Mohkampura Narinder Kaur said that they had booked a case under section 302, 365 and 34 IPC against Jaspreet Singh and two unidentified persons. She said all the accused were absconding.

A shocking video has surfaced of a migrant worker being beaten to death in India following allegations of workplace theft.

The film purports to show migrant worker Ram Singh held captive and hanging chained by his hands and feet after he was accused of stealing.

While most the people seen in the video stand by doing nothing, one man, armed with a bat, repeatedly strikes him while he cries out in pain.

The unedited version of the video, filmed in the city of Amritsar and which lasts for 34 minutes, is too distressing to publish.

It is not clear who filmed the brutal assault, but it was alleged to have been a punishment inflicted by an employer following an allegation of workplace theft.

The country's north is home to a large population of migrant workers, where human rights abuses are often reported among workers.

The Times of India reported the video was filmed in the factory where Ram Singh worked.
His wife explained there was a theft at the factory and her husband was blamed, with a group of men turning up at the couple's home to threaten him.

She said: 'On Thursday, a few people came to our house in Khankot village in a car and forcibly took away my husband.

'They beat him mercilessly and threw him on [the] road. Later his body was recovered.'
Her account of the events matched that given by a nearby resident, who also described seeing him being bundled into a car.

India Times reported bystanders can also be heard hurling abuse at him in Punjabi.

A spokesperson at the nearby police office confirmed it had opened a case report against three people, who had not yet been found.


The incident occurred at a factory in the city of Amritsar, northern India, which is famed for its Golden Temple (pictured)

A video of the brutal murder of a Nepalese migrant, who was hung upside down and attacked with iron rods, has gone viral, sending shockwaves among city residents.

Ram Singh, a cleaner at a factory in the Focal Point area, was found murdered on Friday. The police are yet to make any arrest in the case.

The video shows Ram Singh being brutally thrashed with iron rods by his assailants as he pleads them to let him go. Sources said the accused, who are believed to be the owners of the factory where Ram Singh worked, suspected his involvement in a theft case ago and wanted him to confess to it.
Police have booked three persons under Indian Penal Code sections 302 (murder),365 (kidnapping) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) on a complaint filed by Ram Singh’s wife Raji.

One of the accused has been identified as Jaspreet Singh, a resident of New Focal Point.

Raji has alleged that the accused had come to her house on Thursday and threatened her husband with dire consequences.

She said the accused then forcibly took away Ram Singh with them.

She said her husband’s body was found dumped at T-point Mehta Road.

ADCP City Harvinder Singh said the probe has revealed that the accused belonged to Nepal. But he had been working in Amritsar for the past 15 years. He said raids were being conducted at different places to arrest the accused.
