In the viral video, some people were seen putting a leash around the person's neck. The man named Vijay Ramchandani was seen apologising to the goons who were treating him like a dog.

As soon as this video went viral on social media, there was a stir in the police administration, after which the Home Minister took cognizance of it and said stern action will be taken against the accused.

Reacting to the video, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra said, "I have seen that video. I felt like it is a grievous incident. Such behaviour towards a human being is highly condemnable. I have instructed Bhopal Police Commissioner to probe this incident and take action within 24 hours."

Following the Minister's instructions, the police swiftly arrested the accused involved in the assault. Charges have been registered against them under the Freedom of Religion Act, as well as sections 365, 341, 342, 323, 327, 294, and 427 of the Indian Penal Code.

"FIR registered under sections of abduction and forced religious conversion in the matter. Six accused including 3 with previous criminal history have been taken into custody by police. NSA invoked against 3 accused with criminal histories," said police.

The local administration in the presence of police razed the residence of one Sameer Khan, who is accused of harassing and thrashing the youth.

As many as three people have been arrested under the stringent National Security Act (NSA). This decision was taken after Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan ordered strict action against the perpetrators.

Home Minister Mishra confirmed the invocation of the NSA against the accused, highlighting the severity of the incident.
