Surat: In a shocking incident, a young man was brutally thrashed by members of the notorious Yusuf gang in the Govindnagar area of Limbayat after he allegedly refused to pay extortion money. Police have arrested six accused involved in the violent attack.

According to reports, the gang collects money from traders and vehicle owners for parking tempos on an open plot. Those who refuse are allegedly attacked. In this case, a young man became their target for not paying the demanded amount.

CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced, showing the accused dragging the victim to the ground, kicking him in the face, attempting to break his leg, and even stabbing him during the assault.
