A shocking video has surfaced of a migrant worker being beaten to death in India following allegations of workplace theft.

The film purports to show migrant worker Ram Singh held captive and hanging chained by his hands and feet after he was accused of stealing.

While most the people seen in the video stand by doing nothing, one man, armed with a bat, repeatedly strikes him while he cries out in pain.

The video purports to show Ram Singh being held captive during an in ordeal that ended in his death

The unedited version of the video, filmed in the city of Amritsar and which lasts for 34 minutes, is too distressing to publish.

It is not clear who filmed the brutal assault, but it was alleged to have been a punishment inflicted by an employer following an allegation of workplace theft.

The country's north is home to a large population of migrant workers, where human rights abuses are often reported among workers.

The Times of India reported the video was filmed in the factory where Ram Singh worked.

His wife explained there was a theft at the factory and her husband was blamed, with a group of men turning up at the couple's home to threaten him.

She said: 'On Thursday, a few people came to our house in Khankot village in a car and forcibly took away my husband.

'They beat him mercilessly and threw him on [the] road. Later his body was recovered.'

Her account of the events matched that given by a nearby resident, who also described seeing him being bundled into a car.

India Times reported bystanders can also be heard hurling abuse at him in Punjabi.

A spokesperson at the nearby police office confirmed it had opened a case report against three people, who had not yet been found.

The incident occurred at a factory in the city of Amritsar, northern India, which is famed for its Golden Temple (pictured)

SInghs need to be the ones to track down and bring these people to book , because i noticed they knew the man was a Sikh and that he spoke Punjabi and of course those two things will be used in Media to tar Us all as the same berahim animals ...

The story itself is tragic. The scum who did this need to be brought to account.

Don't any of you find it strange how on the day a Sikh highlights on UK television the death of 2 Sikhs at the hands of Indian police, this local level event finds its way onto a UK newspaper's website; a website that is one of the most viewed websites on the internet? It's almost as if to say, "Don't sympathise with these Sikhs bleating about mistreatment at the hands of Indian police. They themselves are vicious."

It seems the Daily Mail has contacts in the Indian government or vice versa. Interesting.

The Independent and The Guardian publish articles from the likes of Hundal which defame and undermine Sikhs. No, I'm afraid when it comes to these issues we have no friends in the media, Left or Right.

The Daily Mail is Right-leaning as you correctly say, but the BBC stands on a traditionally light socialist platform AND also partakes in the kind of so-called progressive politics The Guardian espouses, the only difference being the Tories lean on the BBC on occasions when they feel the national broadcaster has veered too far to the Left in editorial policy, whilst The Guardian is... a lost cause, lol. The anti-Israel (therefore pro-Islam) bias of The Guardian is as clear as day. Muslims are the convenient buffer between the Left war with the Right.

yep, by RSS I mean a sponsored death but I mean timing and movement of the story is a bit different than normal . This would be local news but somehow it got straight to Times of India
