In a very shameful incident that happened in Bihar's Jehanabad, six men were seen molesting a girl and ripping her clothes off. Based on a video of the horrific incident that has gone viral, four young men have been arrested. According to reports, others seen in the video are still missing. What adds to the disgraceful and disgusting act is the fact that the onlookers, instead of helping the girl, started recording the incident on their phones and even uploaded and shared it online.
In the video which was shot, it can be seen that the minor girl tries to fight the men who are sexually molesting her in attempting to rip her clothes apart. The victim tried screaming for help and even pleaded in the camera but to no avail. The incident raises an important question on the law and security of women and minors in the country.
The horrific video will put everyone to shame. Viewer's discretion advised.
Over the last few months, there has been nationwide outrage over the rise in incidents involving crimes against women. From the Unnao rape case, Kathua and Surat rape and murder case, every day these incidents have been grabbing the headlines. In the wake of the recent unfortunate events, POCSO Act was amended, to incorporate the provision of capital punishment for those who rape girls below 12 years of age. However, the question of security of women remains a significant concern across states in India.
