In a shocking incident, a youth was beaten to death in broad day light at Attingal in Thiruvananthapuram rural district on Sunday. The whole incident was captured on a mobile phone.

The victim was identified as Manakkadu Veettil Shabeer, a native of Vakkam near Attingal in Thiruvananthapuram.

The video, that surfaced on Monday, showed that a four-member gang waylaid Shabeer and his friend Unnikrishnan, who were riding a two-wheeler. The assailants dragged Shabeer a little way along the road and started thrashing him with a rod.

While one was cruelly beating him with the rod, another assailant caught on his leg to perfectly expose the victim to the attack. The seriously injured youth was abandoned on the road. He was later taken to a hospital by local people after the gang fled the scene. Shabeer died at a hospital on Monday afternoon.

Police said they have identified the assailants, all in early 20’s.
