A video – which is said to be linked to the incident – is going viral on social media. In the video, about a dozen girls can be seen slapping a man and accusing him of misconduct. Reportedly, the girls walked to the home guard office in Chhatarpur where the man is posted and thrashed him before the police arrived.
The girls, as per local media, were suspicious that somebody had been jumping the boundary from the back side and peeping into the hostel but could not identify the person until a CCTV footage of a nearby shop came to light which showed a man jumping the boundary to sneak inside the hostel and return back similarly. Through the footage they identified the man and marched towards the home guard office to catch him.
