African national tied to pole, beaten with sticks in Delhi

A shocking video of brutal attack on a Nigerian man accused of theft and drugs being beaten up by a mob after tying him up to a pole in Delhi's Malviya Nagar emerged on Monday.

The incident took place on September 24 in Malviya Nagar in south Delhi. After being beaten brutally, the man was jailed.

In the video, a Nigerian whose name and nationality are yet to be identified, could be seen being tied to a street light post and thrashed with sticks and iron rods by the mob.

The man is seen with feet tied to a post, begging for mercy as locals keep hitting him with sticks.

A case has been filed by a local resident after the incident reportedly claimed that the man was involved in a theft.

Last year, a Congolese national was killed in the national capital, triggering a massive outrage.
