According to the cops, the girl had stepped out of her home to give food to her mother who was working in a field. On her way, a friend of hers offered her a lift to drop her. While they were crossing the forested area, a group of young men---including minors--reached the scene, stopped the girl and attempted to molest her.
The six-minute video occurs after it went viral on social media, that appears to be shot by a young boy on a mobile phone. The video girl can be heard screaming, as two men drag her further inside the jungle and try to gag her. The teenager, holding a steel container, a spoon and a water bottle, tells one of the men, "Leave my hand."

Two others have not been identified. The main accused has been arrested. The girl is a minor," said Kuldeep Narayan, a senior police officer in Jhansi.
