According to the student’s complaint, a male student had been troubling her through WhatsApp. She alleged that another girl, who studied with her at college and lived in her neighbourhood, pressured her to enter into a relationship with her friend.
When she refused, the girl allegedly took her on a scooter on September 5, saying they were going to the market. Instead, she was taken to an isolated place near Nagar Van, where three other girls were already waiting.
The four girls allegedly surrounded and assaulted her and threatened her. During the incident, they also allegedly made her apologise to the male student through a video call.
The student claimed that she was allowed to leave only after agreeing to enter into a relationship with the युवक. She was later dropped near Semariya Chauraha.
The student reportedly remained silent after the incident out of fear and did not tell her family. The matter came to light after the assault video reached one of her relatives.
The student then approached Kolgawan police station on September 12 and lodged a complaint.
Kolgawan police station in-charge Sudeep Soni said the matter had come to the police’s notice. He said the victim’s statement had been recorded and an FIR registered against the accused. Police are also examining the viral video.
