Bihar: After Jamui, Samastipur, another girl harassed in public at tourist site
A video reportedly showing a minor girl being harassed in Banka has emerged online. Following this incident, police registered a case against six unidentified youths for their actions.

Similar incidents in Samastipur and Muzaffarpur have previously led to multiple arrests.
Patna police have registered a case against six unidentified men following the emergence of a video showing a minor girl being harassed at a tourist site in Bihar's Mandar Parvat. This development follows similar molestation and sexual assault incidents in Jamui and Samastipur, raising concerns over public safety in the state.
The video, allegedly recorded at Mandar Parvat tourist site under Bounsi police station, depicts a group of youths behaving aggressively towards the girl, including twisting her arm, attempting to hit her with a slipper, and carrying a stick. The clip, edited with a song glorifying hooliganism, has been widely shared on social media.
Police suspect the video might be from around six months ago despite its date of September 3. They are now working to determine the actual date and circumstances surrounding the video's recording. Bounsi Station House Officer Pankaj Kumar Jha stated that the social media cell received the video via WhatsApp on September 22, and a police team subsequently confirmed it was filmed at Mandar Parvat.
A suo motu First Information Report (FIR) was filed against the six unidentified men under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Information Technology Act. The Bounsi Superintendent of Police, Indrajit Baitha, mentioned that efforts are being made to identify those in the video and further legal action will be taken based on the investigation.
