The accused man allegedly took the child to his poultry farm with the promise of chocolates and raped her. When the man was caught and taken before the village council, or panchayat, the elders decided not to turn in him and pronounced their own verdict. The man was not guilty of rape, they decided. They only punished him for taking the girl to a secluded spot.

A video of the “punishment” has sparked massive outrage on social media, with many calling it out as proof of patriarchy and unfair justice in rural India.

Social media users tagged the video to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav, demanding to know whether the state government would allow the crime to go unpunished.

Superintendent Of Police Gaurav Mangla said that an FIR has been filed and action will be taken against the accused. The police are also investigating those who tried to suppress the horrific crime, he said.
