Lucknow/Rampur, May 28
A video showing two girls being molested by a group of 14 boys in Rampur district of Uttar Pradesh has gone viral on the social media, triggering an outrage in the state where incidents of crime have seen a spurt recently.
The police have arrested the main accused after registering a case against 14 boys who have been identified.
In the video, the group can be seen waylaying two girls in a desolate village area of Tanda town in Rampur district. The boys are seen molesting and groping one of the girls. One boy even lifts her.
While the girls are seen pleading with them to let them go, the boys are seen laughing and a few of them shooting the incident. “An FIR has been lodged against 14 persons. The main accused has been arrested and the police probe is on,” Principal Secretary (Home) Arvind Kumar said.
Congress spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi questioned if this was the effective law and order promised by the BJP before coming to power two months ago. — PTI
