In a horrifying incident, a woman was allegedly gang-raped by at least eight individuals, all of whom were subsequently arrested based on evidence from a video that surfaced on social media ten days ago, according to the police.
The video, which depicts the distressing assault, had been in circulation on various social media platforms for an extended period before coming to the attention of law enforcement. Upon discovery, Badausa Police Station SHO Vijay Kumar Kushwaha stated that the video was promptly sent for forensic examination, according to PTI.
On Thursday, authorities apprehended eight suspects identified as Kallu, Ramdhani, Ramsanehi, Devkumar alias Chunni, Indrajit alias Lobhi, Bhagvandeen alias Boga, Lavkush, and Devsharan, all of whom were seen in the video.

However, after receiving the forensic report on the video, the police lodged a case of gang rape against all eight individuals, charging them under both the IT Act and relevant sections of the law.
