The social media was set on fire, after a video of two women being molested by a group of men in broad daylight in Uttar Pradesh's Rampur surfaced. Around 14 boys can be seen in the video, molesting the women, even while they pleaded to let them go.

Proving the sheer fearlessness of the perpetrators, the boys filmed the entire development and posted it on social media. Besides manhandling and molesting the girls, the boys were laughing and making jokes the whole time, while the distraught girls kept on begging to be spared.

Police said they are yet to identify the two victims. SP, Rampur, Vipin Tada said, “A police team is trying to locate the women.” He added that during questioning, one of the molesters, Shehnawaz, told police that the incident occurred on 22 May.
