Days after a shocking video of the public humiliation and molestation of a minor girl in Bihar's Jamui surfaced, another incident has come to light from Samastipur district. A minor girl was once again targeted by a mob after the young man in her company was assaulted.
According to reports, two youngsters stopped near a dam in Jagatsinghpur village, under the Karpurigram police station area of Samastipur district, to take photographs. As they stood there chatting, a group of locals arrived and engaged them. The boy reportedly ran away after being attacked by the mob, while the girl was left stranded in the middle of the road among the crowd.
The video, reportedly shot on September 15, Tuesday, showed the girl being touched and pulled by a young man in the group despite her continuous protests. As she tried to walk away, she was forcefully brought back to the middle of the group.
According to Hindi news reports, the group wanted to know her whereabouts and repeatedly asked for her address. She was mocked and abused as her responses were not acceptable to them.
