A clip of two men assaulting three women from the Gharbarah village, Ecotech-1 police station area, Greater Noida is going viral on social media. According to the Local 18 Uttar Pradesh, the men initially slapped the women and kicked them when they fell. Some people standing nearby recorded the clip on mobile phones, shared it and made it trending on social media

After watching the clip, the police swung into action, arrested two youths named Dinesh and Vedpal and started the case proceedings. Greater Noida’s Additional DCP Ashok Kumar Sharma told Local 18 that the dispute between both parties started due to the issue of garbage dumping. It soon developed into a physical fight. Dinesh hails from the Gharbarah village. He and the co-accused Vedpal are currently lodged in the prison. The matter is being investigated and further action will be taken based on further information.

In the video, social media users can see that some of the women tried to intervene and stop the fight. However, both accused Dinesh and Vedpal kept on hitting the women and didn’t step back. Even some men tried to stop both accused from harming the women but to no avail. People were recording the clip and some were even watching the incident, but none of them rushed to the help of the victims.

A similar incident took place on June 28 in West Bengal. Here, a man identified as a local Trinamool Congress leader named Tajemul alias JCB was seen brutally beating a woman in Bengal’s Uttar Dinajpur district. The beating, attended by a large crowd, happened on the street in Ghemtagach village within the Lakhimpur Gram Panchayat of the district.

As per reports, the crowd did not intervene or inform the police, reportedly out of fear. The victim, identified as Sultana, was allegedly accused of having left her husband and two children and run away with a man, Rajiv. She was alleged to have eloped with Rajiv to the Matigara village near Siliguri 7 days ago. Rajiv and the survivor returned to the village on June 28, causing an uproar among the public.
