The editor of a television channel, which first aired the video of a mob molesting a teenage girl in India's northeastern Assam state, has resigned over the broadcast.

The arrests are slowly adding up - too slowly to matter, really. A week after a TV camera in Guwahati filmed a young woman being attacked, groped, pulled back from the road that she tried to race down, 11 of the 30 people who assaulted her have been arrested.

Meanwhile, Atanu Bhuyan, the Editor-in-Chief of News Live, the channel that filmed the Guwahati molestation incident, resigned on Tuesday (17-July-2012) afternoon.

Atanu Bhuyan said he was under "huge mental pressure for the last few days".

Addressing a press conference at the Guwahati Press Club, the editor-in-chief, Atanu Bhuyan, said he was surprised at chief minister Tarun Gogoi's comment yesterday (16-July-2012) criticising journalist Gaurav Jyoti Neog for not informing the police.

"After Gogoi's comment, Neog was picked up by the police and interrogated for four hours before being released. We fear the enquiry will not be impartial as the police may be influenced by Gogoi's comment," he said.

Close on the heels of molestation of a girl in Guwahati that generated national outcry, a teenager met the same fate allegedly at the hands of army jawans in Assam's Sibsagar district, police said on Saturday (14-July-2012).

A team of Army personnel headed by Lance Naik were on patrol duty near a forest in Dolopa where they spotted a teenaged girl collecting firewood, Sibsagar additional superintendent of police S K Dutta said.

When Naik and his team allegedly tried to molest her in the forest, the girl created a furore which was heard by the nearby local villagers who rushed to the spot and managed to free the girl from the armymen clutches, Police said.

Army sources, when contacted, said that there was no information on the matter with them.

The area is flood prone and militant-infested for which the camp of the Army was set up.

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi gave police a 48-hour deadline to arrest all the youths involved in the molesation of a girl in Guwahati even as raids were conducted today (14-July-2012) in the hunt for 12 more wanted men including a government employee, a prime accused.

A controversy also broke out over the video footage of the incident with RTI activist Akhil Gogoi alleging that a journalist who filmed it on Monday (09-July-2012) night had 'instigated' it, a charge rejected as baseless by a local TV channel concerned and condemned by scribe bodies.

The Guwahati incident is no one-off. Urban India has witnessed several cases of women becoming mob targets.

Police have failed to make any breakthrough and arrest any of the seven other culprits from the group that publicly molested and stripped a teenage girl in this main city of Assam last Monday, officials said on Saturday. The incident created a country-wide furore after the video clip of it was telecast.

The 17-year-old had gone to a pub with another girl Monday night. She was looking for an auto-rickshaw when 11 men pounced on her. The other girl escaped. A video clip of the girl being molested was caught on camera and went viral on the net. It caused outrage.

Bollywood condemns Guwahati molestation

The recent Guwahati molestation case has enraged Bollywood celebrities who have come forward to condemn the act, calling for punishment for the culprits.

Here's what the B-town celebs had to say in social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook:

Amitabh Bachchan: Horrid visuals on TV of molestation of young girl... but just a point. How does TV crew know of it live and why don't they intervene?

Bipasha Basu: Guwahati molestation of a 17-year-old girl for 29 minutes on the road! Shameful! These monsters have to be punished!

Anupam Kher: My country gives me millions of reasons to be a proud Indian. But it also makes me feel ashamed to be one on many occasions.

Shekhar Kapur: As a society we must take collective responsibility for Guwahati for making incidents like this acceptable and rampant. Constant bombarding of female image as mere object of sexual titillation is bound to alter perception of the immature male. Physical abuse of women and even rape is not a sexual act, but act of humiliation and power by male lacking in self worth.

Farhan Akhtar: Guwahati pathetic! Shameful! Indian women better realise that they are on their own.

Actor Rahul Bose said he was sickened by the incident. "Saddened to the point of despair that none came to her rescue. How much more violence against women must we see before we realise it will end civilisation as we know it. What makes men silent onlookers to such carnage? what delight in seeing a 17-year-old girl brutalised?."
