Overview
- Police in Nalanda, who on Thursday put the arrest count at eight, said a special team made the captures after the assault video spread online.
- The incident occurred on March 26 when a married woman was groped, dragged and subjected to an attempted gang-rape on a village road.
- Investigators booked the case under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 74–76 and the Information Technology Act and warned people not to share the clip.
- Officers recovered the footage, and a court sent the eight to two weeks’ judicial custody as raids continue for others, including a named suspect reported as absconding.
- Opposition leaders said the case shows a breakdown of law and order, while accounts of moral policing and bystanders filming instead of helping have intensified public anger.
