A night-time video circulating online depicts a woman being grabbed and a man being struck by a group of people, allegedly in Jamui, Bihar, prompting calls for police investigation.

An online video that has gone viral portrays a group of individuals surrounding a young couple at night, allegedly in Jamui, Bihar. In the first scene, the woman is seized by a masked person and lifted while she screams, and the man attempts to intervene but is separated from her. A later segment shows the couple on a scooter being confronted by the same group, resulting in an argument before they leave the area.

Viewers on social platforms have described the episode as harassment and moral policing, urging law-enforcement to identify those involved. Bihar Police responded on X, tagging Jamui Police and requesting further details, but have not confirmed whether a case has been filed or identified the participants. An official investigation would be required to verify the video's location, timing, and the circumstances leading to the confrontation.
