The incident unfolded on Friday at Ram Gopal intersection in the Gujaini area. Rohit (21) and his girlfriend (19) were eating chowmein at a roadside stall when his parents, Shiv Karan and Sushila, suddenly showed up and unleashed a fury no one expected.

Eyewitnesses were stunned as the scene turned chaotic. In a video that has now gone viral across social media platforms, Sushila is seen grabbing the young girl’s hair, slapping her repeatedly, and even attacking Rohit as he tries to shield his girlfriend. Rohit’s father, meanwhile, can be seen beating his son with a slipper. The couple attempts to flee the scene on a motorcycle, but the parents keep attacking until bystanders intervene.




The disturbing footage has left viewers horrified, raising serious concerns about personal freedom and public safety. Several onlookers tried to stop the assault, but the violence had already left an emotional scar on the couple.


Police say the parents disapproved of the relationship and reacted violently upon spotting the duo. Gujaini police, led by officer Vinay Tiwari, intervened and separated both sides. “The police separated both parties after counselling them. Further necessary legal action is being taken,” authorities said.

The incident has triggered widespread anger online. Social media users have condemned the parents’ actions, calling it an outrageous and unacceptable display of violence. Many are demanding strict action against them, stressing that such behaviour—especially in public—should not go unpunished.

This shocking episode has once again highlighted how deep-rooted social conservatism and parental control can clash with individual freedom, sometimes with disturbing consequences.
