Five men were today arrested for allegedly molesting a minor girl and uploading an objectionable video on social media in Kendrapara district, the police said.
The men had molested the girl on June 14 during a picnic trip at Pentha sea beach under Rajnagar tehsil.
Finding the girl alone, they dragged her to a deserted spot near the beach and committed the crime. While molesting her, they video-graphed the girl.
Later they uploaded the video on social media, the official said.
Police had started investigation after the victim's father lodged a complaint and arrested the five men from several areas of the district.
