Patna Police File FIR in Molestation Case After Months of Harassment
Patna police took action on Wednesday evening. They registered a First Information Report against a local man. The man faces serious allegations of molestation and assault. His target was a 19-year-old girl from the Dalit community.
Months of Alleged Harassment Culminate in Violent Attack
The victim reported a disturbing pattern of behavior. Her neighbor, identified as Prince Kumar, had been watching her for months. He allegedly peeped into her bathroom repeatedly. The young woman also endured lewd remarks from him. These remarks reportedly targeted her Dalit identity specifically.
The situation escalated dramatically on Tuesday evening. The girl finally caught Prince Kumar in the act. She discovered him peeping into her bathroom once again. This confrontation triggered a violent response from his family.
Family Allegedly Joins Attack, Police Face Initial Delays
Prince Kumar's family members reportedly barged into the victim's home. They allegedly attacked the young woman physically. The incident left the victim traumatized and seeking immediate justice.
She approached the local police station right after the attack. However, the process faced significant delays initially. Police also received counter-complaints from the accused party. This complicated the filing of the official report.
Persistent Victim Efforts Lead to FIR Registration
The determined young woman refused to give up. She continued her efforts throughout Wednesday. Her persistence finally yielded results by evening. Patna police officially registered the FIR against Prince Kumar.
The case now moves forward with formal charges documented. Authorities will investigate the allegations of molestation and assault thoroughly. They will also examine the caste-based harassment claims seriously.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about women's safety in urban areas. It also underscores challenges Dalit women face specifically. The victim's determination to secure an FIR sets an important precedent for others seeking justice.
