Assam police have announced a “handsome reward” for anyone who provides information about five unidentified people accused of sexually assaulting a girl in a video that went viral on social media.
The girl is said to be from the northeast. However, the police say it is possible that she was not from Assam.
Assam police also released photos of the five defendants, including a woman.
Police said the location and time of the sexual assault were not yet known and efforts were being made to gather more details.
“These pictures show five perpetrators who brutally torture and injure a young girl in a viral video. The time or place of this incident is not clear. Anyone with information about this crime or the criminals can please contact us. Nice reward “Assam police tweeted.

Meanwhile, Union Sports Minister and Lok Sabha MP from Arunachal Pradesh Kiren Rijiju said the viral video of a northeast girl “brutally raped and tortured” by four men and one woman is unrelated to Rajasthan.
“The viral video of a northeast girl brutally raped and tortured by four men and one woman has nothing to do with the Jodhpur suicide case. I had an extensive discussion with the Jodhpur Police Commissioner. Every effort must be made, however become state police to catch the devils, “he tweeted.
