Panic has gripped a village in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut as the fourth incident allegedly involving a ‘nude gang’ has been reported. The alleged incident has caused widespread fear, especially among women, in Daurala villager. Police have launched an investigation, though no suspects have been apprehended yet. They are using drones to monitor the area.
In the latest case, two men attempted to drag a woman to a field while she was travelling alone to work in Bharaala village. The woman screamed and managed to escape their grasp, but the attackers disappeared before villagers arrived. When her family inquired about how the attackers looked, the woman described her attackers as being naked.

According to a report in NDTV, the woman, terrified by the incident, has now changed her job and altered her route to work.
Villagers claim this is the fourth such event, saying earlier incidents went unreported due to fear. They now say police intervention is necessary.
“Villagers initially did not take it seriously. But now there is an atmosphere of fear. This gang has so far targeted only women,” NDTV quoted Rajendra Kumar, the village chief as saying.
Police have searched the fields, and last Saturday, a search operation using drones was conducted for several hours with senior officers present. CCTV cameras have been installed in nearby areas for surveillance.
The report cited Senior Superintendent of Police, Vipin Tada, as saying that women cops have been deployed in the area, and a search is on for the suspects.
While the “nude gang” has confined some families to their homes, others believe it may be a rumour spread by mischievous elements aiming to tarnish the image of the police and the administration.
