Malaysian Authorities Investigate Incident of Indian Man Being Kicked and Humiliated by Bank Security Guard
A disturbing video has emerged showing a Tamil Nadu man being subjected to physical and verbal abuse by a security guard at a bank in Malaysia. The incident, which took place on November 25, has sparked widespread outrage and calls for justice.
According to eyewitnesses, the Indian national, identified as 25-year-old Senthil Kumar, had fallen asleep on the pavement outside a bank in the city of Kuala Lumpur. The bank's security guard, a woman, was seen in the video approaching Kumar and attempting to wake him. However, the situation escalated when the guard turned on a hose and sprayed Kumar with water.
The video, which has been widely shared on social media, shows Kumar being kicked and pushed by the guard as he tries to protect himself from the water. The guard can be heard shouting at Kumar in Malay, which translates to "Get up, you lazy person."
Kumar, who was in Malaysia on a work visa, claimed that he had been struggling to make ends meet and had fallen asleep outside the bank due to exhaustion. He alleged that the guard had been harassing him for several hours before the incident.
The Malaysian authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, with the police confirming that they have taken statements from eyewitnesses and are reviewing the video footage. The bank's management has also issued a statement apologizing for the incident and promising to take disciplinary action against the security guard.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage among the Indian community in Malaysia, with many calling for greater protection and support for migrant workers. The Malaysian government has vowed to take swift action against those responsible for the incident, and to ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the future.
