A video has gone viral on social media in which a fan could be seen getting thrashed by security staff.

The fan was taken out of the ground after he breached security to meet Kohli on the pitch. Now, the viral video has claimed that he was beaten up by security staff at the stadium itself.

You don't have the right to touch anyone. Then what's the use of Law?

You can keep him in Jail/ Fine but you're attacking him in the stadium itself
