Maharashtra: Video of instructor hitting students in muddy water as part of exercise routine goes viral

A shocking video of National Cadet Corps (NCC) students of the Joshi Bedekar College of Thane being beaten up by a senior - in corporal-type punishment - has surfaced on social media platforms even as people demanded action.

In the video, eight young men were seen in push-up positions on a muddy trail - not with their hands but heads - even as a person was seen whacking them with a stick.

The video has been recorded by an unidentified student.

“It is a highly condemnable incident. We would take necessary action. The guilty would not be spared….in fact, we have already initiated action,” said Principal Dr Suchitra Naik.

According to her, a committee is also being set up to ensure that such incidents do not happen in future.

“The person (in the video) is an NCC cadet,” she said.

NCC training has been taking place here for almost 40 years in the college and this incident has happened in the absence of an instructor. NCP legislator Dr Jitendra Awhad expressed shock over the alleged incident and demanded that the government must take immediate action in the matter. “Strict action must be initiated against the brutal incident,” he said.
