Arunachal Women's Group Demands Justice After Minor Abuse Video Surfaces

Itanagar: The Arunachal Pradesh Women’s Welfare Society is demanding a fast, impartial investigation after the arrest of Biri Tara. Police picked up the elderly man following a viral video showing him allegedly abusing a minor girl. The group says child safety is not a bargaining chip.

Authorities at the Itanagar Women Police Station made the arrest. The Society wants the law applied strictly if the allegations hold up. They emphasized that the victim needs care, legal help, and counseling rather than public exposure. Officials must keep the girl safe from further scrutiny throughout these proceedings.

The Society issued a blunt warning to social media users and the press. Stop sharing the video. Reposting this footage risks the child’s privacy and adds to her trauma. The group wants the public to block any material that might identify the survivor.

Education and community intervention are the next steps. The Society wants more awareness about child abuse, mandatory reporting, and adult responsibility. "Child protection cannot be left solely to law-enforcement agencies; it is a collective responsibility of families, communities and the State," the organization stated. They remain firm on zero tolerance for abuse.
