A young couple travelling on a motorcycle towards Kapilash in Odisha’s Dhenkanal district was allegedly stopped and assaulted by a group of people. A video circulating on social media appears to show several men surrounding the couple, assaulting the man and behaving inappropriately towards the woman, who repeatedly pleaded for them to stop. The circumstances that led to the confrontation remain under investigation. Gondia police said three people—Saroj Nayak, Samir Nayak and Sangram Rath—have been arrested. The incident surfaced days after a similar assault involving two minors in Bihar’s Jamui, drawing renewed attention to public safety and harassment.
