Incident Details: On September 19, a Class 10 girl and her male teenage friend were intercepted on their two-wheeler in Bihar’s Jamui while returning from a scenic spot. Under the pretext of “moral policing,” the group intercepted them; the girl was allegedly grabbed, groped, and sexually assaulted, while her male friend was beaten.
How It Came to Light: The victims did not initially approach the police due to fear and threats. The incident surfaced after a video went viral online, triggering widespread public outrage. Cops subsequently traced the victims using the vehicle registration number visible in the recording.
Police Action & Shooting: Jamui police set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by Sub-Divisional Police Officer Deepti Monali. The main accused, identified as Nandan Yadav, was shot in the leg by police during law enforcement action and arrested alongside an accomplice.
Arrests & Legal Charges: An FIR was registered under the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act along with relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). With the arrest of Yadav and his associate, the total number of arrested suspects in the case rose, while another suspect accused of recording the video (Ramashish Choudhary) was reported absconding.
