Allegations of Gang Rape Attempt and Police Inaction at Hasanpur Police Station Unverified by Public Records

A reporter at Hasanpur Police Station in Samastipur district reports on the alleged gang rape attempt of a 13-year-old girl, claiming police inaction and corruption, while interviewing the victim's mother and the girl herself.

What's right

The video accurately identifies the location as Hasanpur Police Station in the Rosra subdivision of Samastipur district, Bihar, which is a real geographical location.
The video visually shows a police station building, and the audio explicitly mentions "Hasanpur Thana" (Hasanpur Police Station).

What's wrong

The core claims regarding a specific incident of a 13-year-old girl's alleged gang rape attempt on April 22, 2026, at Hasanpur Police Station, including the making and viral circulation of a video, repeated visits to the police station without action, and a rumor of the Station House Officer (SHO) taking a 1 lakh rupee bribe to suppress the case, could not be corroborated by reliable public records or news reports as of May 20,
While general reports of rape cases, police inaction, and corruption in Bihar and other parts of India exist around this time, none match the precise details of this particular incident, the victim's age, the specific police station, or the alleged involvement of "Pinky Devi."

Breakdown

The video accurately identifies the location as Hasanpur Police Station in Samastipur district, Bihar. However, the central claims of the video, which detail a specific alleged gang rape attempt on a 13-year-old girl on April 22, 2026, at this police station, along with allegations of police inaction, corruption (a 1 lakh rupee bribe to the SHO), and the viral circulation of a video of the incident, remain unverified.

Extensive searches for news reports or official statements from April-May 2026 regarding such an incident at Hasanpur Police Station yielded no matching results. While there are reports of other rape and gang rape cases in Bihar and India during this period, some involving police corruption or inaction, none align with the specific details, victim's age, or the alleged involvement of individuals like 'Pinky Devi' as described in the video.

For instance, a gang rape case in Samastipur on March 20, 2026, involved a 23-year-old woman, not a 13-year-old. Another incident in Nalanda district on March 26, 2026, involved a gang rape attempt where a video was filmed, but it was a different location and victim.

Reports of police officers taking bribes in rape cases were found in Rajasthan (May 2026) and Lucknow (October 2025), but not specifically for Hasanpur Police Station in connection with the alleged April 2026 incident. The absence of corroborating evidence from reliable sources for such a serious and detailed claim, especially given the time sensitivity, leads to an 'Unverified' verdict for the factual claims about the incident and police conduct.
