Suddenly one of the men swings at them, his hand connecting with the boy's face and bouncing his head off the window of the bus.

Another man then slaps the girl around the face. She responds by screaming at her attackers in anger and fear.

She is then pulled by the hair and dragged out of the bus, in the unnamed Indian city.The video was later uploaded online in an attempt to further shame the young couple, whose relationship is considered a taboo in Indian society.

A man called Sunny Tamak originally shared the video footage on his Facebook profile.

His outraged Facebook friends responded with vitriolic messages, one even suggesting they should be burnt alive.
