What's the story
Upset with the inaction of school authorities despite repeated complaints about an eve-teaser, girls of Dharma Singh Girls Inter College in Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh took matter in their hands.
A video which has surfaced on social media shows girls, who have covered their faces with dupattas, beating the eve-teaser with sticks.
Their teacher also joined them, TOI reports.
What happened
The main gate was closed and eve-teaser beaten
The report claimed the girls had complained to authorities about the accused, but no action was taken. So they locked the main gate of the institution and unleashed their anger on him.
In the video, he can be seen pleading for mercy just as the girls rained him with blows.
He managed to escape after jumping off the terrace.
