A Class 10 girl and her male friend, both teenagers, were allegedly harassed in Bihar's Jamui, around 150km from Patna, on September 19. The two were headed back from a scenic spot on a two-wheeler when the accused intercepted them on the pretext of ‘moral policing’.
The girl was allegedly groped and sexually assaulted and the boy was thrashed by the accused. The incident came to light through a viral video, which cops have now established was shot by one Ramashish Choudhary, who remains absconding.
Victims didn't file complaint, cops traced them
While the two victims didn't file any complaint due to fear and threats by the accused, a purported video of the incident went viral, sparking massive outrage.
“Although the incident is two days old, no complaint was made before us by the boy or the girl till Sunday. Today, when the video went viral, we traced the victims with the help of the registration number of a vehicle visible in the clip,” Jamui superintendent of police (SP) Vishwajeet Dayal told reporters.
