A shopkeeper in Ulhasnagar had the opportunity to teach two kids right from wrong when they stole a chakli from his store. Instead, what he taught them was that humans can be horrifyingly cruel and barbaric at the slightest excuse.

The two kids - aged eight and nine - were tonsur­ed, made to wear garlands of chappals and paraded naked in Ulh­as­nagar by the shopkeeper and his sons, all because they did not have one rupee to pay for the chakli. Adding insult to injury, a bystander captured a video of the shocking incident, instead of helping the kids.
