In the viral video, the accused can be seen kicking and slapping the woman's back. When the woman picks up a plastic chair to defend herself, the man kicks her again and lands more slaps, the video showed.
Unfortunately, no one came forward to help the woman, who was thrashed mercilessly by the accused. Manthesh is believed to have attacked the woman due to a personal enmity regarding a civil dispute case, said the police. The two have reportedly fought over the old civil case several times in the past.
