A disturbing incident of harassment involving two minor students in Bihar’s Jamui district has sent shockwaves across the nation, triggering widespread public anger and political debate after video footage went viral on social media platforms. The alarming event occurred on the evening of September 19, when a Class 10 schoolgirl and her male classmate were intercepted by a group of local youths while returning from coaching classes on a motorbike. Under the guise of enforcing societal norms and moral policing, the group surrounded the frightened teenagers, verbally abused them, assaulted the boy, and sexually harassed the young girl while filming the entire harrowing encounter on a smartphone. Instead of stepping in to protect the helpless students, bystanders stood around recording the incident, creating an atmosphere of sheer terror and humiliation for the young victims.
The harrowing video sparked immediate backlash online, prompting actress Ayesha Khan to take to social media and voice her intense outrage over the systemic issue of moral policing in society. Expressing her utter shock and sickness over the incident, Ayesha forcefully condemned both the perpetrators and the passive crowd that stood by documenting the assault rather than intervening. Taking to her Instagram stories, she strongly called out the normalization of vigilantism, asserting that harassment must never be excused or disguised under the banner of culture and traditional morality. She publicly criticized those who attempt to rationalize moral policing or debate the manner in which it should be conducted, questioning who gave self-proclaimed guardians the right to humiliate and abuse young individuals going about their daily lives.
Following the viral outrage, law enforcement agencies took formal note of the footage, prompting the Jamui Police to register a case under stringent provisions, including the POCSO Act. A Special Investigation Team was constituted to trace and apprehend those involved, leading to multiple arrests including that of the primary accused who was shot in the leg while attempting to evade police custody. Political leaders and public figures across the country have expressed deep concern over the law and order situation, demanding strict legal consequences and complete police accountability to ensure safety for young women and students in public spaces.
