The disturbing 34 second video of a little boy forced to smoke a beedi, has gone viral on social media.
A man is seen lighting the beedi and the five-year-old boy on his lap takes puffs.
Voices are heard cheering and egging him on in Tamil. At least five men are seen in the video. One of them is even heard warning that this is an offence and could mean a six-year jail term.
