After Jamui and Samastipur, another video from Bihar’s Banka shows men harassing woman

Another video of a woman being harassed in Bihar, this time in Banka district, has surfaced on social media after incidents in Jamui and Samastipur, where minor girls were molested. The Banka Police have registered a case against three accused.

Police said the incident came to light through social media on Tuesday (September 22, 2026) when youths in the 38-second video were seen harassing a woman at Mandar Hills, a historic site. The incident took place on June 3, 2026, within the Bounsi Police Station limits.

Banka Police said that once the video came to their notice, they immediately registered an FIR. “According to the information, an old (dated 03.06.2026) video was received on WhatsApp through social media on 22 September 2026.

After registering Sanha (Informatory Petition), the armed forces team went to Mandar Hills and verified the site and examined the video,” police said in a statement on Friday. Police registered the case under Sections 74, 75, 76, 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 66E, 67A of the Information Technology (IT) Act.

“The victim had gone to visit Mandar Hills with her two friends, where three youths in the viral video [Abdullah, Nitish Kumar Rai and Vikas Kumar] held hands and started abusing and threatening. Abdullah forced the victim’s friend to transfer ₹1,500/- to his account.

After the money was received, the victim and two of her friends were allowed to go,” police said. Banka Police said raids are on to arrest the three accused soon. Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav slammed the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, saying that law and order in Bihar is on its “deathbed”.

“After Jamui and Samastipur, now a video of the exploitation, indecent behavior, and assault of a minor girl at the historic tourist site Mandar Parvat in “Banka” has gone viral! The nominated puppet Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary is daily hollowing out the foundations of justice and civilized society in Bihar through his clumsiness, boastfulness, immaturity, impatience, anxiety, and unnecessary interference in police functioning,” Mr.

Yadav said in a post on X. Mr. Yadav alleged that the Bihar Chief Minister “reacts” to incidents based on the caste identity of criminals. “Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary — answer why justice is served only after looking at the social background of the beasts who rape and mistreat minor girls?

When will these beasts from Banka be caught? The Chief Minister also reacts after looking at their reels and caste,” Mr. Yadav said. A second video from Samastipur has gone viral in which four men can be seen harassing a minor girl and her male friend.

Police said the video was 15 months old and the incident took place in the Musrigharari police station area. “On the evening of September 24, 2026, during social media monitoring, it came to notice that a video was rapidly circulating across various social media platforms, showing individuals behaving indecently with a girl.

The victim is a minor. A case has been registered under relevant sections of the BNS, the POCSO Act, and the IT Act,” the Samastipur Police said. Police have identified the four persons involved in the case and have arrested one of them.

In the video, the girl is seen crying and pleading with her abusers to let them go.
