Youth beaten in Bihar after being seen with woman

A youth was brutally attacked by a group of men in Sherghati area of Gaya district in Bihar, allegedly for being seen in public with a young woman. The assault was captured on video and subsequently circulated on social media platforms, prompting swift police action. Authorities have registered a First Information Report and launched an investigation into the matter.

The incident follows similar cases reported recently in neighbouring Jamui and Samastipur districts, where young men faced violence for socialising with women. These occurrences have raised concerns about vigilantism and moral policing in parts of Bihar.

Police officials said the victim sustained injuries in the attack but details of his medical condition were not immediately available. Investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend the perpetrators involved in the assault. The case has drawn attention to growing instances of violence linked to perceived violations of social norms across the state.
