Amethi Horror: Two Arrested for Molesting Woman, Ramming Couple's Bike
Two men in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, were arrested after allegedly molesting a woman and ramming her motorcycle while she was returning from a fair.
A terrifying encounter on the roads of Amethi has led to the arrest of two men after they allegedly molested a woman and intentionally caused an accident to assault a couple returning from a local fair. The incident, which occurred on October 20, 2026, has sparked outrage as the victims were targeted in a brazen daylight attack.
A Fair Visit Turns Into a Nightmare
The couple had spent their day visiting a fair in the Amethi district and were heading home on their motorcycle. Around 7 p.m., as they were navigating the stretch near Pura Gopal Majra Nuwanva, their journey took a dark turn. According to the police complaint, two men on another motorcycle suddenly approached them, initiating a series of harassments.
The woman alleged that the riders didn't just follow them but actively molested her, touching her inappropriately around her waist while the vehicles were in motion.
Intentional Collision and Threats
The harassment did not stop at molestation. In a calculated move to intimidate and harm the couple, the accused allegedly rammed their motorcycle into the couple's bike. The impact was strong enough to throw the couple off their vehicle, causing the bike's windshield to loosen and leaving the husband with a minor injury to his hand.
Despite the shock and the fall, the woman stood her ground. She identified the attackers and protested their actions, warning them that she would inform her father about the incident. Instead of retreating in fear, the attackers reportedly unleashed a torrent of abusive language at the couple before speeding away from the scene.
The Accused Identified
The victim was able to identify the perpetrators, revealing a disturbing connection: the attackers were residents of her own maternal village. The woman named the two individuals as Pradeep Kumar, son of Ramkishun, and Anil (also known as Sonu), son of Ramjash Kori. Both are residents of Sultanpur village in Amethi.
Police Action and Legal Charges
Following the formal complaint, the local police swung into action. Police Inspector Shivakant Tripathi confirmed that a case has been officially registered against Pradeep Kumar and Anil alias Sonu.
The accused are facing serious charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, specifically under the following sections:
- Section 74: Related to assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty.
- Section 352: Pertaining to intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace.
- Section 115(2): Dealing with voluntarily causing hurt.
Inspector Tripathi stated that legal proceedings are currently underway to ensure the perpetrators face the full extent of the law.
