Four arrested for molestation of minor girl in Bihar Samastipur

…of September 23, 2026, during social media monitoring, it came to notice that a video was rapidly circulating across various social media platforms, showing three to four individuals behaving indecently with a girl. “ Given the sensitivity of the matter, the video underwent immediate technical verification. This established the location of the incident as a road near the embankment in Jagatsinghpur village, under the jurisdiction of Karpurigram Police Station.
