Uttar Pradesh: Person Attempts to Molest a School Student, Records It; Police Takes No Action for 10 Days
The incident took place 50 metres away from the Kithore police station in Meerut, as per a Jagran report.
In a video which went viral on social media, a girl can be seen trying to escape and scream for help as an individual molests her while others record the act. The incident reportedly took place 10-12 days ago in Kithore, Meerut.
As per a report published in Jagran, one person named Gaurav a.k.a. Goldie has been arrested in connection with the case on Saturday. The individual molested the girl in the perimeter of DS Public School, which is approximately 50 metres away from the local police station. The school building has remained abandoned for at least ten years, the report added.
Gaurav reportedly told the police that the victim knew him and had come to meet him at the school on the last day of her examination. According to SSP Nitin Tiwari, when the police tried to contact the girl after seeing the video, she said that she would commit suicide if the matter was investigated. They, however, arrested the culprit when the video went viral on social media.
