According to reports, when the victim came home and told her family about it, they filed a complaint at Bhawanpur police station. The police studied the recordings from video surveillance cameras and arrested the man.

According to the victim’s mother, her daughter was returning home after praying in the temple. Amit, a young man from the village, tried to pull her by teasing her. Somehow the girl escaped from the clutches of the accused and reached home.

It is reported that the suspect was intoxicated at the time of the incident. The girl, who studies in class 5, was bullied for a long time on the roadside, but no one came to intervene and save her. It is noted that the man had previously molested the girl.

Meanwhile, the villagers of the district are demanding severe punishment for the accused from the authorities to set an example.

The number of crimes against women is increasing in UP

Despite Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s repeated warnings, the number of crimes against women in Uttar Pradesh has been steadily increasing, causing considerable concern among citizens and authorities. Although the state government has introduced various measures to curb these incidents, including increased police presence and fast-tracking of cases of aggression and assault, the problem remains widespread.

The recent increase in reported cases of harassment, assault, and domestic violence has not only affected public safety, but has also called into question the effectiveness of current policies. In response, the government is under pressure to adopt more comprehensive, grassroots strategies that engage communities, improve police accountability and prioritize the safety of women across the state.
