Karnataka: Four arrested over viral video of woman’s sexual assault

Karnataka’s Yadgir district police have booked four men after a video of a woman being stripped began doing the rounds on social media. Yadgir superintendent of police Vedamurthy, in a video statement released Monday, said the four arrested a day ago have said the incident took place one and a half years ago.

According to the Superintendent of Police (SP), B Veedamurthy, the incident in the video took place in the outskirts of Shahpur city, where a woman was seen begging in front of some men who were allegedly assaulting her. The Police also informed that this was an old video and the incident happened around nine months ago as per the information.

Police said in the video, the suspects could be seen stripping, sexually abusing and assaulting the lady with sugarcane sticks. The miscreants used the mobile torchlight and vehicle’s headlight since the video was shot at night. The video also showed the miscreants clicking selfies with the victim during the assault. The suspects were also allegedly heard telling the woman that no one is coming to her rescue and also speak about some money they lost.  “The police department has taken the case very seriously. Shahapur police have registered a suo motu case and the matter will be investigated,” Vedamurthy said in a report.
