Six men kidnapped a girl from her home in the Machhli Sahar neighborhood of Rasoolabad in the Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh. They attempted to insult the girl’s modesty on video. At least four males were seen on camera abusing and sexually assaulting the girl.
The girl fought back despite being physically assaulted and having her hand twisted by the accused guys. The child even screams for assistance as the suspects sexually assault her. It was revealed that one of the suspects had been filming the whole thing on his phone.
People on ‘X’ (previously known as Twitter) began sharing videos of the incident and calling for police in Jaunpur to arrest the suspects after seeing them on the platform.
