In a shocking incident caught on camera, a man was filmed brutally assaulting his girlfriend at a petrol station in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. The video, showing the man hitting the woman in full view of bystanders, quickly went viral, drawing widespread public outrage on social media. Despite the horrific nature of the assault, onlookers at the petrol station merely observed, refraining from intervening or helping the victim.
The incident reportedly occurred at a petrol station in Arthala, within the jurisdiction of Sahibabad Police Station. According to initial reports, the couple, who had been in a relationship for five years, arrived at the station to refuel their bike when an argument erupted. Witnesses allege that the altercation escalated after the man received a call from another woman, leading to a heated exchange between him and his girlfriend. The argument soon turned violent, with the man forcefully shoving the woman to the ground and repeatedly striking her. Shockingly, rather than stepping in to assist the woman, bystanders recorded the incident on their phones, turning it into a viral video.
