- A new video shows a girl and boy harassed on a road in Samastipur, Bihar
- Men on motorcycles verbally abused and pushed the girl
- Police are investigating and searching for the accused seen in the viral video
After the sexual harassment incident on camera in Bihar's Jamui, another video of a similar horror has surfaced from Samastipur, 131 km away.
In the second incident from Bihar, a group of men on motorcycles surrounded the girl and a boy who was travelling with her on a village road. They abused her verbally and pushed her around the road.
Four accused have been arrested and a first information report has been filed, a senior police officer said.
The video surfaced on Wednesday and the incident is said to have happened in Samastipur's Jagatsinghpur village.
The police said they immediately set out to take action the moment they saw the video of the incident. According to local reports, the girl and the boy had stopped on the road to take photographs.
Suddenly, some local men came and surrounded them. They called her names and molested her. The men seen in the viral video were from Jagatsinghpur village itself, locals said.
"Based on a viral video showing a group of men harassing a girl in broad daylight in the Jagatsinghpur area, four accused have been arrested and an FIR has been filed," the police officer said.
Janata Dal (United) leader Rajeev Ranjan strongly condemned the incident. "If the criminals involved in such crimes don't take a warning from what action was taken in the Jamui incident, then they will end up behind bars," he said.
Just days ago, three people were arrested in Bihar's Jamui after a video showing them harassing two Class 10 students - a boy and a girl - surfaced online. Many on social media had tagged the Bihar Police, urging action against those involved in the disturbing clip.
The video showed the couple surrounded by a group of men with one of them holding the collar of the boy's shirt, pulling him away from her. As she tried to run, a masked man caught her from behind. The two had gone out on a scooter after attending coaching classes on Saturday evening.
