She was seen lying on floor screaming in pain as Mishra was seen beating the woman.
In the video, two other men are also seen but ironically rather than rescuing the helpless woman, they were standing and watching the whole brutal act.
According to the reports, the woman was admitted in the same hospital for treatment and an FIR was registered against the accused guard.
The incident sparked outrage among the users on Twitter and even the leaders from the political parties also condemned the act.
Bihar’s opposition party Rashtriya Janata Dal tweeted in Hindi on the incident saying, “It’s important to watch this viral video, being shared for the sake of humanity. In Prayagraj, this is how a security guard behaved with an elderly woman who had gone to SRN hospital for treatment. It does not matter what was the mental or financial status of the woman… a society that tolerates such kind of inhuman behaviour should be ashamed of itself.”
