A nearly two-minute video, that has now gone viral on social media, shows Jamaat workers putting a garland of shoes on Kanu and asking the old man to leave his house in Ludiara village in Batisa Union of Chauddagram Upazila of Comilla District in Chittagong.

Several reports revealed that Kanu had gone to a local market on Sunday morning where a few men caught him and took him in front of Kuliara High School where he was physically and mentally harassed.
