We report radio continuum and 21cm HI observations using the Giant MetrewaveRadio Telescope of the group Ho124 comprising four late-type galaxies, NGC2820,Mrk108, NGC2814 and NGC2805. Three of the galaxies have clearly undergone tidalinteractions as seen from the various morphological tidal signatures whereasother features in the group members appear to be due to ram pressure. Here, wedescribe four interesting results:(a) detection of the tidal radio continuumbridge at 330 MHz connecting the galaxies NGC2820+Mrk108 with NGC2814 with aspectral index of -1.8. The radio bridge was discovered by van der Hulst &Hummel (1985) who reported a spectral index of -0.8.(b) Detection of varioustidal features including a possible tidal dwarf galaxy.(c) Sharp truncation inthe HI distribution in the south of NGC2820 and in the HI & radio continuum inthe north of NGC2814. The optical disks in both the cases look undisturbed. (d)Detection of a large one-sided HI loop to the north of NGC 2820. No radiocontinuum emission or Halpha emission is detected. We discuss various scenariosfor the origin of this loop. The central starburst scenario is not supporteddue to lack of ionized gas in the loop. For an electron density of 4x10^(-4)cm^-3 we estimate the ram pressure force of the IGrM to be comparable to thegravitational pull of the disk of NGC2820. We suggest that the loop could haveformed by ram pressure stripping if tidal effects had reduced the surfacedensity of HI in NGC2820. Finally we suggest that the evolution of the Ho124group may be governed by both tidal forces due to the interaction and rampressure due to motion of the member galaxies in the IGrM and that the IGrMdensities might not be too low (>~4x10^(-4)cm^-3). This should be verified byother observations.
