Police launched an investigation after a video showing a teenage girl chained around her waist and tortured over theft allegations in Sylhet.

The incident occurred on Monday around 7:00 PM at the D-Block Mosque Market area in Shahparan, Sylhet city. Local residents detained the girl, alleging she attempted to steal from a shop's cash register.

Witnesses reported that locals beat the girl, bound her waist with an iron chain, and forced her to walk along the street late at night. The viral video showed a youth dragging the girl by the chain while she wept bitterly.
