An alarming incident from Mathura is going viral on social media where a young boy is seen forcefully kissing a minor girl and fleeing the scene after molesting her. According to media reports, the minor girl, who is from West Bengal, had come to Mathura with her family to visit religious places.

The horrific incident of the girl being molested was captured in the CCTV video. The CCTV footage showed the girl holding a baby in one arm and walking through the street. Meanwhile, the youth approached and forcefully kissed her, then ran away.

Soon after incident was noticed, a village panchayat was called. During the panchayat session, the accused repeatedly hit himself 10 times with slipper and apologised to the authorities.

According to media reports, soon after the incident, the girl and her family went back to West Bengal. After the CCTV footage went viral on social media, police have started a search for the accused. Although, the youth at fault has not been identified by police authorities yet, no case has been registered in the matter so far.
Incidents raises questions

The incident raised several questions. The fact that the youth was allowed to get away even after committing such a heinous act by slapping himself with a slipper 10 times invites criticism of the village panchayat and their ways of arriving at "justice".

Also, that the incident was not reported to police clearly points towards a clear non-compliance of law and order, as the incident should have been reported to police for the right action to be taken against the youth seen in the video.

As per the information available, the police swung into action and is on the lookout for the youth. However, the girl and her family already left for Bengal after the disturbing incident. It defies belief to see that had the incident not been captured on CCTV footage, the youth would have easily gotten away with the shameless act.
