The release of a video showing the beating of several women in Iran during an Instagram live broadcast has sparked a wave of reactions on social media.

According to the Mizan news agency, affiliated with the Iranian judiciary, a case has been opened against this individual following the release of the Instagram live video by order of a judicial authority.

Saeed Rasti, the deputy head of the "Combatting Malice and Violent Crimes" section of the police, announced that this video has prompted widespread reactions from citizens, and the information sent by the public has played a role in identifying the suspect.

Mr. Rasti added that this individual was identified in a "operation" in central Tehran on Thursday morning, August 8, 1405, and "due to resistance against the officers," two bullets were fired into his legs and one bullet into his hand, leading to his arrest.

At the same time, videos of this individual after his arrest have been shared on social media, showing him in a medical facility. In one of these videos, he apologizes in the presence of the police to the women seen in the beating video, as well as to citizens and the police.
