On July 9, a video clip was posted on social media. It purportedly showed four men having sex with a girl, later revealed to be a minor aged 17, in Assam’s Morigaon.
The clip soon went viral on Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp. On July 17, the minor’s father filed a police complaint against two of the men seen in the video. His daughter had been missing since July 9, he said, and when he saw the viral clip he believed the men had “kidnapped” her. An FIR was registered on July 19 and two of the accused were subsequently arrested.
