On Friday morning, the man posted a video to Instagram, promising viewers that they will witness a murder live. The video then shows him drawing a rifle and shooting a bullet into a woman's forehead while a child's wail can be heard somewhere close. The video was eventually taken down from Instagram.
The police suspect that the girl was gang-raped before being charred. Three locals who were apprehended there have been arrested and are currently being interrogated.
The victim was watching games at a Muharram procession. Soon after, she was taken to a jute field by accused Ashfaq and Mumtaz where the two gangraped her.
The incident occurred in the Saria police station area of Giridih district. A woman from the Dalit community living in Kobadia Tola was attacked by a group of people including women.
The gravity of the situation is expertly diluted by the TNM's editorial wordplay. The fact that video recording someone during their private time, without their consent is a crime, has no importance here, not for TNM, because what is most important for them here is the protection of the perpetrators involved.
