Video: Pilibhit Man Gets ‘Taliban-Style' Punishment By In-Laws: Throat Stomped, Beaten With...
A disturbing case of violence has come to light from Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit district where a man was brutally assaulted by members of his in-laws' family. The incident was captured on video which is now being widely circulated on social media. The footage shows the man lying on the ground and being beaten in an extremely violent manner with a belt. The act is being described as a 'Taliban-style" punishment due to the intensity and manner of the assault.
According to a report in Amar Ujala, the incident took place in Bara Mazlia village which falls under the jurisdiction of the Amaria police station. The victim has been identified as Mohammad Yameen.
In the video, a man dressed in clothing resembling that of a Maulana is seen repeatedly whipping Yameen with a belt as he lies on the ground. At one point, the same man is also seen pressing his foot forcefully on Yameen's throat which shows the brutality of the assault. Throughout the video, Yameen can be heard pleading with them to stop but no one steps in to help. The man continues to beat him mercilessly with the belt.
As the video continues, two more individuals appear at the scene. One of them approaches the main attacker and tries to ask for the belt. But the attacker refuses to hand it over and continues beating Yameen. At the same time, another man starts slapping Yameen multiple times.

Darshan's Wife Vijayalakshmi Assures Fans Of Film Updates Amid His Jail Stay: 'He Will Be Back Soon'
Kannada star Darshan's wife Vijayalakshmi will manage his social media and promote The Devil as the actor remains in jail in the Renukaswamy murder case. Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa's wife, Vijayalakshmi, has announced that she will manage his social media accounts while he remains in jail in connection with the Renukaswamy murder case. She assured fans that updates and promotions of his upcoming film The Devil will continue until the actor can reconnect with his audience directly. Sharing a message with Darshan's supporters, Vijayalakshmi wrote, 'My Dear #DBoss Celebrities, your Challenging Star carries each one of you in his heart. Until he returns to connect with you directly, I will be handling his social media, to share updates and movie promotions on his behalf. The love, prayers, and patience you continue to show give him and our family immense strength. Let's hold on to that unity and positivity—he will be back soon, with the same love and energy you've always known. With gratitude and love, Vijayalakshmi Darshan." Darshan, popularly known as the 'Challenging Star," was arrested after the Supreme Court cancelled the bail earlier granted to him and other accused in the case. The charges stem from the alleged murder of Renukaswamy, who had reportedly sent inappropriate messages to Darshan's associate, Pavithra Gowda. The case has drawn nationwide attention for its brutality and high-profile nature. Earlier, the Karnataka High Court had granted regular bail to Darshan, Pavithra Gowda, and five others in December 2024, reasoning that the investigation was substantially complete and a chargesheet had been filed. However, the Supreme Court overturned this decision, with a bench led by Justice JB Pardiwala observing that granting bail in such a grave case posed a serious risk of witness tampering and could undermine the ongoing investigation. Meanwhile, Darshan had completed the shoot for The Devil after receiving bail. The film's first single, Idre Nemdiyaag Irbek, was initially slated for release on August 15 but was postponed following his arrest. Vijayalakshmi's statement now confirms that the team plans to move forward with promotions despite his absence. The Renukaswamy murder case shocked Karnataka, not only for its brutality but also because of the involvement of a major film industry star. According to investigators, the 33-year-old victim, a fan of Darshan, had allegedly sent obscene and threatening messages to actress Pavithra Gowda, who is believed to share close ties with the actor. Police allege that this provoked a violent retaliation, in which Renukaswamy was abducted, brutally assaulted, and killed before his body was dumped in Bengaluru.

US Revokes Over 6,000 Student Visas In 2025 Amid Stricter Immigration Policies
Last Updated: The revoked visas reportedly involve students who violated US laws or engaged in activities deemed a threat to national security. The US State Department has revoked more than 6,000 student visas so far this year as part of a broader immigration enforcement campaign under the Trump administration. A State Department official confirmed the numbers on Monday, as reported by Fox News Digital, marking a significant escalation in visa enforcement targeting international students. The move is part of President Trump's wider agenda to impose stricter visa regulations and tighten immigration policies. The revoked visas reportedly involve students who violated US laws or engaged in activities deemed a threat to national security. According to the State Department official, between 200 and 300 student visa holders were stripped of their documentation due to alleged involvement in terrorism-related activities. These revocations fall under provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act, which makes any foreign national inadmissible to the US for links to terrorism or extremist behaviour. However, the majority of visa cancellations were due to criminal offences or immigration violations. The official stated that approximately 4,000-6,000 revocations were issued to individuals who had 'broken the law," including cases involving assault, burglary, and driving under the influence (DUI). Other reasons included visa overstays and violations of terms of stay. In addition to revocations, the Trump administration has also taken steps to make it harder for international students to gain admission to US universities. In recent months, federal scrutiny has increased around campus activism, particularly protests related to the Israel-Gaza conflict. The administration alleges that such demonstrations have often taken an antisemitic tone, creating a hostile environment for Jewish students and faculty. One notable case occurred in March 2025, when Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts University, had her visa cancelled and was detained by federal agents. Ozturk was placed in ICE detention before a federal judge ordered her release in May. Several universities, particularly Ivy League institutions like Harvard University, Brown University, University of California, and University of Pennsylvania, have come under fire from the Trump administration for allegedly tolerating antisemitic activity on campus. Officials argue that university leadership has failed to protect Jewish students, accusing them of siding with pro-Palestinian protestors. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
