Muzaffarnagar police use videos to trace the accused
The footage has now become the main lead for police trying to establish the identity of the man. In one 13-second clip, the student, wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack, is seen walking ahead with the young man. Several other female students are behind them.
The pair crosses the street and turns towards a closed shop and a cart. An elderly man in a white kurta-pyjama and jacket can be seen outside a shop on the left, talking to the shopkeeper or apparently making a transaction, while cardboard boxes filled with goods are stacked outside. The young man is then seen pushing the student.

Another clip shows the two walking through an alley, with a motorcycle parked nearby. They stop close to a wall and appear to argue. The student tries to prevent the young man from approaching her, but he grabs her hand and slaps her.
The two are then seen leaving the street on foot. The videos do not show what happened before or after the recorded moments, but police have begun working from the footage to identify the accused in the Muzaffarnagar case.
