Overview
- Two Class 10 students were intercepted on the Jamui–Lakhisarai road on the evening of September 19 and short video clips of their alleged harassment circulated online.
- Jamui police traced the victims using a vehicle registration seen in the footage, registered an FIR under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and formed a female‑led Special Investigation Team.
- Officers say about seven people in the clips have been identified, three suspects have been arrested and raids continue to locate the others while police seek removal of the video from social platforms.
- National and state bodies including the NCW and Bihar State Women’s Commission and political leaders condemned the footage and demanded swift POCSO prosecution and support for the victims.
- Reports note the video's authenticity has not been independently verified, some accused may be minors, and the case has prompted review of local patrols and calls for a time‑bound, transparent investigation.
