YouTuber From Tripura thrashed for “casting” Hindu models in Eid music video

Guwahati: In a shocking incident from Tripura, a Youtuber by the name of Bapan Nandi claims to have been publicly beaten and humiliated for using Hindu models in an Eid music video.

Nandi, who is a resident from Udaipur town in Tripura.

As per reports, Nandi was thrashed by an angry mob and questioned as to why Hindu girls were cast as Muslim characters in the video.

He was abused in a video that was recorded and it has gone viral on social media.

The Youtube community and other video producers condemned the incident and labelled it a “attack” in an effort to foster racial harmony.

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad has filed a complaint against Nandi for allegedly defaming the Hindu religion.

However, Nandi claimed that he was not the producer of the video and had acted as an artiste, like several other models and content creators.

“The video was posted on my channel a day after it was released on the channel of my friend Siddik who owns the YouTube Channel called Mr Siddik. But the attacks were targeted upon me. I don’t know most of the other crew members and the cast. Each one of us was paid for acting in the song,” Nandi told a locals news portal.

He further said, “The elected Deputy Chief of East Gokul Nagar Panchayat called me to visit his place for some work. We know each other so I went there to discover that around 30 to 40 youths were waiting for me. The Panchayat leader slapped me, thrashed me in front of everyone there. I kept asking what was my fault and explained that the video was produced by another channel and the casting was done by him only but no one was there to hear anything. A case has also been registered against me but for what crime I don’t know.”

Furthermore, the girls who played the characters in the video released video remarks in which they stated that they had no issues playing any character in music videos because the nature of their work necessitates this kind of role switching.
