A shocking and extremely disturbing video has gone viral on the internet which shows an Indian worker in Saudi Arabia being brutally beaten up by a Saudi engineer.

In the video, a man is seen apologising and shouting in pain as another man mercilessly slaps him and even uses his belt to continuously flog him. The attacker is even seen spitting on the victim.

According to Zee News, the victim is an Indian worker who was engaged in the Grand Mosque expansion work in Mecca. The video was initially shared by Canadian journalist Tarek Fatah on Facebook with the caption: "Saudis beat an Indian to pulp."

This video showing the brutal assault on the worker comes just weeks after a Saudi diplomat was accused of confinement and rape of two Nepalese women in India.

The video's authenticity has yet to be verified.
