A video emerged online showing a Japanese girl being ganged up on by a group of men and viciously assaulted during a holy festival in India.
She was seen in the video being groped and harassed by the men before she eventually slapped one of them and fled in tears.
The video begins with the girl, covered in coloured powder and some liquids, being groped by a man from behind, while another man slammed something onto her head.
Another man joined in and took the opportunity to hug her, as someone else started spraying a blue substance onto her face as she shielded herself.
Another man then approached from behind and spanked the girl’s backside before turning around and walking away, before yet another man followed suit and did the same thing.
The girl was heard screaming before she managed to free herself from the men, as she looked at the camera and was visibly in tears.
Yet another man then got up in her face and laughed at her, before she gave him a slap in the face and turned around, walking away.
Arrested
Following the incident, 3 people have been arrested and confessed to their crimes after questioning, including an underaged boy.
All three of the arrested men (and boy) live near Paharganj, and the police have taken action against them under the Delhi Police Act.
However, further legal action against the suspects will be decided on merits.
Netizens’ comments
- Oh yeah, you don’t do that in that area of the world. I visited India during Holi and the authorities in Jaipur set up a large separate area for tourists only, where we could have fun without the women being at risk.
- This is disgusting.
- Before the dude slapped her @ss, some other guy tried to literally grasp her. U can see his hand curl after doing… i dont even know. Fkn disgusting.
- Some guys wait for festivals like these where a lot of women might be outside, just so they can grope them. Police arrest a bunch of guys every time. Poor girl! I really wish someone told her these things.
- You do not want to be a woman without a male escort in India. I have spent some time there and was shocked.
Update from the girl
I have just arrived in Bangladesh. I’m really sorry that I didn’t know it was a serious situation. I am fine in mind and body. I will explain more tomorrow.
