Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday directed Delhi Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik to take necessary action on a video where a man is purportedly seen severely beating up a woman.

The order came after the video went viral on social media.

“I have taken note of a video where a youth has been seen severely beating a woman. I have spoken to the Delhi Police Commissioner over the phone and directed him to take necessary action in this regard,” Singh tweeted.

According to media reports, the police in West Delhi have registered an FIR against Rohit Singh Tomar after a woman filed a complaint after watching the video.

The police said the video was shot in Uttam Nagar on September 2.
