The Rohtak sisters viral video controversy involves a video that went viral on the social media in India in late November 2014 and the events that followed.[1] The first video showed two sisters (referred to as the Rohtak sisters or the Sonepat sisters)[2][3] beating three young men with a belt alleging that the men had harassed them. Soon, the video was being broadcast by television channels. The girls were praised by the media and given the nickname "bravehearts". After a second video emerged within a few days, which showed them kicking another boy, the opinions began to shift towards negative.[3] Six women claiming to be passengers on the bus had testified in front of the police. They said it was not an issue of harassment, but a dispute over seats as the girls had been occupying a seat allotted to a sick woman. A longer unedited video had been found on the internet, in which the girls asked a third girl, who had filmed the incident on their phone, to return it. Later another man came forward and claimed that he had been similarly accused of molestation by the girls and he had to pay ₹20,000 to have the charges dropped.
On 8 December, the girls offered to undergo a narcoanalysis test to prove that their version of the events were true.[5] The girls had failed the polygraph test conducted on them, while the accused had passed it.[6] On 18 January, the girls made a complaint to Suman Dahiya, vice-chairperson of the Haryana State Commission for Women, saying that they were being pressured to withdraw the case by authorities and that they were asked obscene questions during the polygraph test.[7] In May 2015, the sisters complained to the police that someone was posting morphed pictures them on the social media.[8] As of June 2015, the court has not reached a verdict.
