In a bizarre incident in Lucknow, India, a group of lawyers tied a youth to a tree, shaved part of his head, spat in his face and assaulted him for more than an hour.

Vinod, the 22 year-old victim, was allegedly invited to a local court to discuss a marriage that had been arranged for him.

When Vinod reached the court for his appointment, Ravindra Singh, the lawyer-relative, allegedly overpowered him with the help of some associates who are believed to be lawyers as well.

TV channels showed the lawyers tearing off the man’s shirt, tying him to a tree trunk and cutting bald patches into his hair. The 22-year-old victim was then beaten up.

According to police, Vinod was “punished” for not agreeing to marry a girl his lawyer-relative had suggested.  Vinod evidently was not yet ready for marriage and this is what appeared to have sparked the confrontation.

Local official K. Chandramauli said he ordered police to file a case against the lawyers. The Agra Bar Association said it was investigating the attack.

Lucknow is the capital city of the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It has a population of over 2 million and it is the second largest urban centre in Uttar Pradesh after Kanpur.
