Last Updated: The minor girl told police that after her boyfriend fled, two men "threatened her" and forcefully pulled out her nose pin, which caused it to bleed. They "took turns to rape her". A minor girl from Kanpur went through a traumatic experience after her lover allegedly abandoned her in a secluded area following an attempt by two strangers to blackmail them with a video. According to reports, prior to this incident, her lover also assaulted her sexually. The incident reportedly occurred in the Maharajpur area of Kanpur on July 26. The girl, who is from the same locality, was in a relationship with a young man named Mahesh, a resident of Fatehpur. On the day of the incident, Mahesh had come to visit her, and the two went for a walk in the Sarsaul Bazar area. Goons Threaten With Video, Demand Money While returning, the couple sat near the boundary wall of a school. It was there that two individuals identified as Divyanshu alias Lucky (19) and his 15-year-old friend arrived and started filming them, PTI reported. The intention behind the video was to blackmail the couple. After making the video, the accused allegedly demanded Rs 7,000 and threatened to leak it if they didn't get the money. According to Aaj Tak, Mahesh told them he would send the money online, but they insisted on cash and then started molesting the girl. In fear, Mahesh ran away and left the girl alone with the two accused. The girl told police that once she was alone, both men began threatening her. The report further mentioned that they snatched Rs 1,000 from her purse and forcefully pulled her nosepin, which caused it to bleed. She claimed that despite giving them money, they didn't stop and took turns to rape her. Boyfriend Also Accused Of Rape 'The victim had been with her boyfriend, identified as Mahesh (19), a resident of Fatehpur district. Mahesh had allegedly taken her to a secluded spot in Maharajpur under the pretext of making some purchases and raped her," Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Satyajeet Gupta said as quoted by PTI. While the couple was together, Divyanshu and his friend approached them and started filming the act to blackmail them and later raped the girl. Assistant Commissioner of Police (Chakeri) Abhishek Pandey told PTI that the accused dropped the girl near her house on their motorcycle after several hours. The minor girl later approached the police and filed a report at the Maharajpur police station. Police said her medical examination has been conducted, and her statement will be recorded. Divyanshu has been arrested and sent to jail, while the 15-year-old accomplice has been sent to a juvenile home, PTI reported.

‘What's happening to our youth?': Assam man performs pull-ups hanging off India's longest bridge; viral video prompts public outrage
A video of a dangerous stunt on the Dhola-Sadiya Bridge in Assam's Tinsukia district has gone viral, sparking concern and outrage across social media. In the clip, a young man is seen hanging from the edge of the bridge's railing and doing pull-ups while others film the act on their phones. The stunt took place on the Dr Bhupen Hazarika Setu, India's longest bridge, and has raised serious questions about public safety. According to NDTV, this wasn't an isolated case. Eyewitnesses and online users claim that several young men were involved in similar risky acts on the bridge, seemingly to record videos for social media. The footage has triggered widespread criticism from local communities and social groups, who are demanding accountability. Many fear that such reckless behaviour could lead to a fatal accident if not curbed immediately. An X account posted the video along with caption, 'What's happening to our youth? Risking life and limb for a few likes and views on social media! This shocking stunt by a young boy on the Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Setu (Dhola-Sadiya Bridge)—India's longest river bridge—is not bravery, it's sheer recklessness.' What's happening to our youth? Risking life and limb for a few likes and views on social media! This shocking stunt by a young boy on the Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Setu (Dhola-Sadiya Bridge)—India's longest river bridge—is not bravery, it's sheer recklessness. cc @assampolice… — Oxomiya Jiyori 🇮🇳 (@SouleFacts) August 5, 2025 Locals and community groups have strongly condemned the act, calling it not just reckless but deeply irresponsible. Many are urging authorities to step in before such stunts lead to a tragedy. 'They should be identified and strict action should be taken against them, so that such incidents can be prevented in future,' a local resident told NDTV. Despite the outrage, the local authorities and police are yet to respond officially. The 9.15 km-long Dhola-Sadiya Bridge was inaugurated in 2017 and is situated over River Lohit in Assam. The Rs 2,056 crore bridge, named after singer Bhupen Hazarika, who hailed from Sadia, is 3.55 km longer than the Bandra-Worli Sea link. In yet another stunt aimed at going viral, a flashy convoy of luxury cars, including an Aston Martin and a Mercedes convertible, brought traffic to a standstill on Gurgaon's Dwarka Expressway Monday evening. A now-viral video shows a group of men filming the scene while others lounged inside the high-end vehicles, posing for the camera in the middle of the road. The spectacle caused major chaos and sparked outrage online. By Tuesday, police had stepped in, arresting three individuals and impounding several cars involved in the incident that took place in Sector 108.
