Two men have gone viral on social media after they were allegedly caught stealing a bag of pepper and reportedly forced to eat the hot chillies as punishment.
A video circulating online shows the two suspects seated on the ground beside what appears to be a large sack filled with fresh peppers. A plate containing several peppers was placed in front of them as they were made to eat the produce while onlookers watched.
Although the exact location and circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, the video suggests the men were accused of stealing the bag of pepper before being subjected to the public punishment. It is also unclear who ordered the punishment or whether the alleged theft was reported to the police.
The footage has sparked widespread reactions online, with many social media users expressing mixed opinions. While some argued that the punishment could discourage theft, others condemned the act, insisting that suspected offenders should be handed over to law enforcement authorities instead of being subjected to vigilante justice.
As of the time of filing this report, no official statement has been issued by the police, and the identities of the two men have not been confirmed.
