Viral Video Sparks Outrage: Amity Law Student Allegedly Slapped 50 Times by Classmates Over Snacks

A shocking incident involving an Amity Law student in Lucknow has sent ripples across social media and educational institutions. A video, which rapidly went viral, depicts a harrowing scene where a student was allegedly slapped an astounding 50 times by his own classmates. The disturbing act has prompted a police investigation and an internal inquiry by Amity University.

The victim, identified as Adarsh Shukla, a first-year LLB student, recounted his ordeal, stating that he was subjected to brutal physical assault by a group of 8-10 fellow students, including two girls.

According to Shukla, the motive behind this extreme violence was his refusal to comply with their demand to bring snacks for them. The incident, which occurred on May 30, took place just outside the university premises, casting a shadow over student safety and peer dynamics.

The viral footage shows Adarsh Shukla being slapped repeatedly, with bystanders not intervening, and some even actively recording the act.

The sheer number of blows inflicted, as claimed by the victim, underscores the severity and prolonged nature of the assault. The clip’s widespread dissemination has ignited public outrage, with many calling for swift and decisive action against the perpetrators.

Following the incident, Adarsh Shukla lodged an official complaint with the local police.

An FIR (First Information Report) has been registered, and authorities have initiated an investigation into the matter. Simultaneously, Amity University has not remained silent, launching its own internal inquiry to ascertain the facts and determine appropriate disciplinary measures against the students involved.

The university's response is crucial in addressing concerns about campus environment and student welfare.

This incident serves as a grim reminder of the challenges related to ragging, bullying, and peer pressure within academic settings. It highlights the urgent need for robust mechanisms to ensure student safety, promote a culture of respect, and effectively address acts of violence.

As the investigation progresses, the focus remains on ensuring justice for Adarsh Shukla and preventing such horrific incidents from recurring in the future.
