    Prayagraj: Hospital guard thrashes mentally-challenged elderly woman, arrested after outrage

    In a shocking video that went viral today, a security guard at a government hospital in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj was seen mercilessly beating up an elderly woman as she pleaded for help. The video sparked outrage among social media users, who demanded that the accused be arrested soon. Taking cognizance of the video, UP Police registered an FIR and arrested the guard. Here's more.

    The victim was mentally-challenged, came to hospital on Thursday

    Reports state the woman, who is in her 80s, had taken shelter at the trauma center of Swaroop Rani Nehru hospital on Thursday night. The guard, Sanjay Mishra, is seen hitting her as she lies on the ground, screaming agonizing cries of pain. The reason behind his actions remain unknown. The disturbing video, that went viral, was shot and uploaded by on-lookers.

    Many on Twitter condemned the incident

    Notably, two other men were seen in the video who kept watching on as the woman cried for help. Shamefully, they did not do anything to help her, neither did they protest against the guard's behavior. As the video went viral, netizens vented out their anger on social media. Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) also tweeted the video, issuing a strong condemnation of the incident.

    "Society that tolerates such behavior should be ashamed of itself"

    Following the incident, the woman was admitted to the same hospital and is undergoing treatment. Many users on Twitter directed their outrage towards the Uttar Pradesh government for the shameful incident. "This is how poor people will have access to healthcare @upgovt? Shameful to say the least. (sic)" wrote a user on Twitter, tagging the UP police in the post.

    Police arrested the accused soon: Senior cop

    On the incident, SSP Abhishek Dixit said, "A video went viral on social media of a private security guard, Sanjay Mishra, beating up an elderly woman. As soon as the video came to the notice of the police, the security guard was arrested."
