An action could only be taken up if any complaint is lodged which so far has not been done by either the boy or the girl, told the SP adding that the police, however, is analysing the video and trying to identify those involved in thrashing.
The girl is a resident of Hapur while the boy hails from Kithore area of the district. Both are students of fourth year at the LLRM Medical College here and used to study together at the residence of the boy.
This came to the notice of a few BJP men and on Sunday evening they entered the house of the boy and thrashed the two badly. They were publicly insulted and later taken to the Medical College police station where they called media.
The duo was forced to spend several hours at the police station. The matter came to the notice of the senior officials and additional force was sent to control the situation.
However, commenting on the incident, Manish Kumar of the VHP charged the boy of Love Jihad adding that this was the bid to spoil the life of the girl.
