The reporter recorded this but did not help. He apparently did call and the police came a half hour later. Profiles in courage all the way around...




Main Accused Amar Jyoti kalitha arrested by Varanasi police – Guwahati Molestation case

The faces of many of the assailants are clearly seen on camera. On the video, as the mob of chases, beats and strips the girl, it is clear no one nearby attempted to help her. She is thrown repeatedly to the ground as she resists. Her clothes are ripped off. Close-ups of the attackers’ faces show no remorse, many wear a look of satisfaction. Some even smile as they look directly into the camera, almost performing for it. At one point, some of the attackers attempt to forcethe girl to look at the camera, chanting “show the face” in Assamese.

There is much outrage also because at one point the young girl identifies herself on camera and that portion was not edited out. There are places where her face can be seen but these were not digitally blurred before the video was uploaded on the Internet, compounding say many, the girl’s humiliation.
