Meerut Police Step Up Drone Patrols After Reports of 'Nude' Attacks on Women

Police count two cases, testing leads that include a local school dispute.

Overview

  • Villagers in Daurala and nearby Bharaala report multiple episodes of unclothed or half‑naked men attempting to drag women into fields, with one woman escaping and later changing her job and route out of fear.
  • Police say two incidents have been officially recorded from late August near Ved International School, and they describe additional circulating accounts as rumours.
  • Four special teams have been formed as officers conduct ground combing with drones, install CCTV on key routes, and deploy female and plainclothes personnel for sustained surveillance.
  • No suspect has been identified or detained, and investigators say they are also considering the possibility of a lone perpetrator who may be mentally unwell.
  • Senior officials say inquiries are examining whether local rivalries, including an internal school dispute and panchayat politics, are fuelling reports as villagers remain on edge.
