When some boys, including one of the victim’s brothers, came over to rescue them, accused thrashed them terribly and later ran away. One of the boys returned home with a fractured hand.
One of the victim talking to Aaj Tak said — Eve teasing is a primary problem here. All this is going on from last four years. They would hurl abuses, pass on lewd comments and sing obscene Bhojpuri songs. It was very depressing for me, she added. Girls remain quiet because they feared being dropped out of the school.
