Reporter who filmed girl's molestation in Guwahati arrested



News Live reporter Gaurav Jyoti Neog, who filmed the molestation of a 17-year-old girl outside a pub in this main Assam city was arrested, on charges of instigating the mob of harassing the girl.

Neog, who worked for TV channel News Live, quit the job after he was accused of instigating the mob that molested and stripped a teenaged girl on a main road of Assam's main city July 9 night.

The activist had produced the video footage of the whole incident before the media to prove his allegation and also submitted the footage to Assam Police

Neog resigned from the channel following the controversy. The channel's editor-in-chief Atanu Bhuyan also resigned from the channel later.

The police have so far arrested 12 people for their alleged involvement in the crime and seized the raw video footage captured by the TV channel on the molestation.

Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi has recieved a lot of flak for being insensitive in issuing a press release with the name and photograph of the victim.

A mob molested and stripped the teenage girl after she came out with her fiends from the restaurant-cum-bar Club Mint on the busy G.S. Road Monday night.

The clip of the girl being molested was also caught on camera and went viral on the youtube .
