The video shows the assault escalating quickly. One to two men first step out of a car and begin hitting two bar employees with kicks and punches. Within moments, more attackers arrive on two motorcycles and join in. The group starts thrashing the employees with sticks and rods, striking them on the body and head. Around 8-10 men can be seen in the video.
At one point, one of the attackers picks up a large stone from the roadside and attempts to hit an employee with it, but another man intervenes and stops him. Even as this happens, the rest continue beating the employees relentlessly, kicking them while they are down, dragging them, and landing blows with sticks.
One of the employees manages to sit up briefly, but the group circles back and resumes hitting him with kicks, punches and sticks before finally fleeing the spot in their vehicles.
The bar owner has lodged a complaint, and Warora Police have begun an investigation into the incident.
