A video trending on social media captures the intense moment when two alleged thieves were apprehended by residents after reportedly attempting to steal a cow.
In the now-viral footage, the suspects are seen being disciplined by community members who caught them in the act. As part of their punishment, the accused were forced to carry a massive tractor tire, believed to be even heavier than the cow they allegedly tried to steal.
Hot Slaps and Humiliation
The video also shows the suspects receiving slaps from some of their accusers during the ordeal. The humiliating punishment was meted out in broad daylight, with a crowd watching and recording the incident.
According to those present, the suspects were caught red-handed, prompting the angry residents to take justice into their own hands. While the exact location of the incident remains unclear, the video has sparked widespread conversation online.
Mixed Reactions Online
The video has received mixed reactions from the public. While some social media users commended the residents for protecting their livestock, others condemned the mob justice approach, calling for lawful prosecution instead.
Authorities Yet to Respond
As of now, no official statement has been released by the police regarding the incident. It remains unclear whether the suspects were later handed over to law enforcement or released after the punishment.
The video adds to a growing number of citizen-led justice incidents that often go viral online. While some see it as a form of deterrent, rights advocates continue to warn against such actions, urging communities to allow the rule of law to prevail.
