Four Arrested in Samastipur After Viral Video of Minor Girl Harassment; Jamui Case Develops
Following a viral video showing a minor girl being harassed in Samastipur, Bihar police arrested four suspects and launched an investigation. This incident occurred days after a similar case in Jamui, where a Class 10 girl and boy were allegedly assaulted by a group of men. The Jamui case led to the arrest of the main accused, Nandan Yadav, and subsequently his father, Ganori Yadav, who was wanted in a 2003 double murder. Authorities have emphasized swift action and ongoing investigations in both cases amid public concern over women's safety.
