Police caught four persons, including a minor on Monday, a day after a video went viral showing a teen crying and pleading for mercy as six molesters laugh and rip her clothes off and nobody helps in Bihar's Jehanabad. Senior police officer Naiyyar Hasnain Khan said in Patna, "They have been arrested for assaulting and stripping the girl. The other two were shooting the incident." Khan had formed a special team to investigate the case after police received a video clip late on April 28.
Those arrested include locals Amar Kumar, Deepak Kumar and Sunil Kumar, all 18, and a 14 year-old.
"There were four-five other boys involved and will be rounded up soon," Khan said. Police is searching houses and talking to villagers to identify the rest of the attackers.
A motorcycle seen in the video with Jehanabad's registration number became a clue for police. "The bike and a mobile phone used to shoot the crime have been seized," he said. Police is trying to identify the survivor and approach her family. The girl is undergoing counselling.

Three weeks ago, anger, shock and protests swept India when chilling details emerged of how an eight-year-old girl had been kidnapped, drugged, raped and battered to death in captivity by eight persons in Jammu's Kathua in January.
