A school girl was beaten up by a group of girls. All of them are minors.
A group of girls kicked, punched and dragged a schoolgirl by her hair after a fight, a disturbing video from Mumbai has shown.
The incident, which took place two weeks ago, was reported from the Yari Road area of Versova.
The disturbing video, which is full of profanity, shows a group of girls brutally punching a girl, in school uniform, until she falls to the ground. Both the attacker and the victim are minors.
The girl gets up, holds her head and walks over to her friend. At this point, one of the attackers shouts “Aadhar aa, aadhar aa (come here, come here), and chases after him.
No one interferes. A few people on their scooters stop to watch the action. A gas cylinder delivery man stops his bicycle and watches from afar.
“Pani main dal (throw it in the water)”, shouted another. They all gang up again and pull him to the ground and he punches and kicks again, the video shows. The victim is dragged violently. An assailant climbs onto his back, as can be seen in the video, and begins punching him furiously.
A guy walks in and pulls the girl and tells her to leave.
All the girls and their parents were counseled by the officials of Versova Police Station and Sneha Foundation with the help of Child Welfare Committee. The principal of the concerned school has also been informed about the incident.
“We are investigating who leaked the video,” the police said.
In a series of messages on X, the police said, “Taking notice of the viral video of the attack on a girl in Versova, the Nirbhaya Squad (Special Cell for Prevention of Crimes against Women/Child) conducted an investigation. During, it was revealed that all the girls seen in the video are minors and belong to the same area.
