In a disturbing video, six men attack a woman in Bihar, rip her clothes off, onlookers offer no help

In a horrifying incident, which has been recorded, six young men can be seen molesting a girl. In a video, which has been widely shared on social media, men can be seen ripping off the clothes of the girl in Bihar’s Jehanabad area.

The police acted swiftly after the disturbing video, posted on social media by witnesses who apparently did nothing to help the teen, was received by a senior officer on Sunday. Two more attackers in the clip are still missing.

Senior IPS officer Nayyar Hasnain Khan has formed a special team to investigate the video, which has outraged thousands since it surfaced online.

In the video, which is highly disturbing, the girl can be seen helplessly trying to fight off her molesters who are cheering, laughing and jeering. One of them is seen lifting her feet as she tries to kick him.

The video, which has been recorded by one of the witnesses, who apparently has done nothing to save the girl.

Most of the attackers are teenagers, the police say. A motorcycle belonging to one of them, which was also seen in the video, was a vital clue for the police. The mobile phone with which the video was shot has been recovered by the police.

A First Investigation Report has been registered against the accused under the stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

The police are carrying out door to door searches in the neighbourhood and talking to villagers to identify the rest of the attackers. The girl and her family are also being counselled, say police sources.

The incident comes to light amid outrage over a series of child rapes in India including the brutal gang rape and murder of a minor girl in Kathua.

On Sunday, a six-year-old was raped in Odisha by a neighbour. She was strangled and left to die. She had deep wounds on her head, face, neck and in her private parts.
