Three people have been arrested in Kolkata after a man, his father and his friend were allegedly assaulted, threatened with a gun and forced to walk naked through a public lane in Behala. The incident reportedly took place on Sunday, 25 October, and came under scrutiny after a video of the alleged humiliation spread across social media.
In Behala, Kolkata, three people were arrested after a man, his father, and a friend were allegedly assaulted and forced to walk naked on October 25th following a dispute involving a teenage girl.
Those arrested include the teenage girl’s father and maternal uncle. Police are investigating the incident and looking into the possible involvement of other people.
Dispute Over Meeting With Teenage Girl
The case began when the young man went to meet a teenage girl in the Behala area, accompanied by a friend. According to the preliminary police investigation, the two were talking when the young man allegedly kissed the girl.
A friend of the girl’s uncle reportedly witnessed the interaction and informed her father and maternal uncle. The girl’s relatives subsequently reached the spot and allegedly took the two young men to a house in Khudirampally.
Father Called To The House
The two young men were reportedly assaulted at the house. The girl’s family then allegedly called the young man’s father to the location. He was also reportedly beaten after arriving.
NDTV quoted a police officer saying, “The woman’s family allegedly caught them together and subsequently confined the young man inside a house. The young man was allegedly assaulted by the woman’s father and maternal uncle.”
A father – his minor son and son’s friend – paraded naked in #Kolkata for over an hour. Incident happened in Behala. The minor son was caught with a minor girl, happened to be friends. Girl’s family allegedly got goons, confronted the family and then at a kangaroo court stripped the three allegedly at gun point. The father, the son and the son’s friend paraded naked as people filmed them. Police have arrested 3. Search for others on. Has something like this happened in #Bengal before?
