A video of a man lifting a 10-year-old boy by the neck and forcefully slamming him onto a cement drain in Lucknow has gained significant attention on social media. The entire disturbing incident was captured by a CCTV camera. The footage shows the boy being picked up by a man in a white T-shirt and violently thrown onto the cement drain, causing him to lose consciousness.
The incident occurred in the Wazirganj police station area of Lucknow on February 20 but has only recently come to light. The boy had gone to a local mosque to pray after breaking his fast. Following the prayers, he was playing cricket with other children outside the mosque, as depicted in the viral video.
At that moment, a 22-year-old local resident known as Fahad, also known as Prince, arrived at the scene. He grabbed the boy by the neck and legs, lifted him overhead, and slammed him onto the cemented surface, resulting in the child losing consciousness immediately. The man then casually walked away from the scene.
After the brutal incident, the accused’s uncle Rashid and female family members transported the injured child to his home, falsely claiming he had fainted from a fall while playing. Subsequently, the boy was taken to a hospital where medical professionals recommended consulting a neurosurgeon. Further examinations were conducted at a private hospital in Indiranagar.
During this period, children who witnessed the incident informed the family that the boy had been intentionally lifted and thrown to the ground. The CCTV footage clearly captures the man lifting the child, holding him with one hand around his neck and the other between his legs, raising him overhead, and forcefully slamming him onto the drain.
Following a written complaint submitted by the family to the Wazirganj police station, a case was registered based on the allegations.
