Footage of a 12-year-old boy being stripped naked and being harassed by his seniors has surfaced from Kayamkulam in Kerala. According to the police, the incident happened in August, during the festival of Onam, but the parents of the victim came to know of the incident only now when the video was getting circulated on messaging platforms.

The boy was stripped and beaten up by other youngsters older than him after he informed some elders about their smoking habits, Rejish S, a police officer from Kayamkulam told The News Minute.
