The video was shared on Facebook by Tanin Haque, who claimed the incident took place in front of Baitul Aman Jame-e-Masjid on the afternoon of 9 March.
According to Tanin’s post, the altercation began when a speeding car, in which the youth was a passenger, hit a rickshaw from behind.
The rickshaw puller and his passenger protested, leading to a verbal dispute. The situation quickly escalated, with the young man in a black shirt repeatedly striking the rickshaw passenger, as seen in the video.
