According to police, the incident came to their attention after the video was received through the police social media cell on September 22. The footage circulating online reportedly carries a timestamp indicating that it was recorded on September 3.

The video has prompted police action in the case, with authorities registering a case against six unidentified men. Their identities have not been established, according to the information available in the source material.

The footage has since circulated widely on social media, bringing the incident to the attention of law enforcement. Police received the video through their social media monitoring mechanism on September 22, according to the local police station in-charge.

The video is being treated as an important piece of information in the police investigation. However, the identities of the individuals visible in the footage and the circumstances leading up to the incident have not been disclosed in the available information.
