A video of the act, recorded and circulated by the accused, Vinay Meena (18), is doing the rounds on the Internet.
In the three-minute clip, Meena is seen slapping Mohammad Salim 25 times and forcing him to say "Jai Shri Ram", to which the victim responded: "Parvardigaar sabse bada hai (God is almighty)."
Members of the Muslim community protested the incident and filed a complaint at the Abu Road City police station against Meena.
