Nellore: In a video that has gone viral on social media, a young man is brutally thrashing a woman. And the young man's friend is making the video, and the young man is seen in the video hitting the woman several times with a stick. After the video went viral on social media, Nellore Police took quick action and within a few hours, the main accused involved in the dastardly act, Pallala Venkatesh, was arrested from Rapur Mandal. Superintendent of Police C Vijay Rao said that after coming to know about the incident, they formed three teams.
