How the Alleged Assault Unfolded
The 19-year-old victim, a second-year BBA student, told police that one of the accused, a female acquaintance from her college and neighbourhood, had been pressuring her to speak with and enter a relationship with a male student named Shravan Sen. The man, a resident of Jhali, had allegedly contacted her via WhatsApp. She refused. On the day of the incident, the acquaintance called the victim on the pretext of some work or a market visit and took her on a scooter. After driving around, she instead brought her to an isolated spot near Nagar Van (also referred to as Saheli Nagar Van in some accounts), where three other young women were waiting. Some reports state their faces were covered.
According to the complaint, the four surrounded the victim, pushed her to the ground, grabbed her hair, and beat her with kicks, punches and sticks. One allegedly struck her near the ear and eye with a stick. During the assault, the accused recorded a video and forced the victim to apologise to Shravan Sen on a video call. They threatened her with further consequences, including circulating the footage, if she reported the matter or refused further contact.
Video Circulates and Complaint Is Filed
The victim remained silent for weeks, citing fear and family circumstances, including her mother’s illness. A relative later received the video, prompting the student to approach Kolgawan police around September 11-12, more than a month after the alleged August 6 incident. Police examined the circulating clips, which showed the women surrounding and assaulting the student while abusing and threatening her.
An FIR was registered against the four female students under BNS sections covering use of obscene words in or near a public place, voluntarily causing hurt, criminal intimidation, and common intention. The sections are bailable. Identities of the young people involved have largely been withheld in public reports.

Police Investigation and Latest Developments
Kolgawan police station in-charge Sudeep Soni confirmed the matter was under investigation. On 15 September, officers summoned the four accused women and Shravan Sen for questioning. A cyber cell team was present. Statements were recorded, and the mobiles of all five were seized and sent for forensic examination to recover any deleted videos, chats or other digital evidence related to the assault and its circulation on Instagram and WhatsApp. Police have said further action will depend on the evidence recovered.
As of mid-September reporting, no separate case had been registered against the male student, though his name appears in the victim’s statement and FIR. The victim’s family has questioned this, stating that chats and her account indicate he played a central role in the pressure that led to the assault. The case has drawn attention because the alleged perpetrators were female classmates and friends of the victim. Police continue to probe the sequence of events, the circulation of the video, and the full roles of those involved.
