Molestation allegations cheap drama, says West Bengal Governor
Anada Bose said that many people are trying to pull him down.
In Bihar’s Vaishali district, sixteen members of an extended family were attacked with acid, seriously injuring eight, when they opposed attempted molestation of a young woman in the family by some youths in the village, said police.
According to Vaishali Deputy Superintendent of Police Raghav Dyal, “family members of Nand Kishore Bhagat had a tiff with some people on Tuesday, members from both the groups came to blows. Somehow peace was restored.”
But a group of people forcibly entered Nand Kishore’s house and attacked the family living in Daudpur village with acid, on Wednesday.

“The entire family was attacked with acid. Eight members including two women have been seriously injured and have been admitted to a government hospital in Hajipur,” said Dyal.
According to the official, nearly 20 people attacked the family “to teach them a lesson”.
The woman from the family was reportedly being harassed by some youths for some days so the family members reprimanded them which led to the escalation of the issue.
The police have arrested five of the accused, said Dyal.
