Guwahati molestation: Gogoi government should act, says Chidambaram

New Delhi: Home Minister P Chidambaram on Friday called for action by the Tarun Gogoi government in Assam in the Guwahati molestation case. " I would expect the state government to take action," Chidambaram said.

A teenaged girl was pulled by her hair, lifted up, thrown down, beaten up, thrashed, molested, groped, slapped and stripped in full public view for 30 minutes on Monday night at a busy road near the Christian Basti area in Guwahati by a mob of around 20 men.

The girl was returning home after a party at a city bar. While the Assam Police has identified twelve men from the video footage that has gone viral on the Internet, it has only managed to arrest four so far.
