Another molestation case in Bihar, minor abused after being spotted with boy

A minor girl in Bihar’s Samastipur was abused, harassed and molested by a group of men after they spotted her with a boy on a local embankment. The incident, which took place on Wednesday, comes days after a similar case in Jamui, where two minors were stopped and harassed by a group of men.

Sources close to India Today said the girl and the boy had gone to the embankment on a bike and were talking when the group approached them. The men first abused and assaulted the boy, after which he fled the spot.

The group then began assaulting and harassing the girl. Someone at the spot recorded the incident, and the video was later circulated on social media.

The viral video shows one of the men grabbing the girl by her hands and trying to pull her away, while another man attempted to grab her hair from behind. As she resisted, the harassment escalated, with several members of the group abusing her and making lewd comments.

At one point, the girl tried to free herself from the men and ran away. However, one of them grabbed her from behind, preventing her from escaping. Other members of the group then joined him, grabbing her hands and pulling her towards another side of the embankment where more men were waiting.

During the scuffle, one of the men pressed against the girl’s breast. The group also made vulgar comments after she told them that the boy was her brother.

The video sparked outrage on social media, following which police took cognisance of the incident and launched an investigation.

Speaking to India Today over the phone, senior police officer Arvind Pratap Singh said the accused had been identified and a manhunt was underway to arrest them.

Further details of the case are awaited.- EndsPublished By: Akash ChatterjeePublished On: Sep 24, 2026 09:18 IST
