In Mahu, Madhya Pradesh, a harrowing incident unfolded involving two young women and two trainee military officers, including Officer Kaushal Singh from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The group had hired a car to explore the area and were near the firing range at Jam Gate when six miscreants approached them.
The assailants first attacked the group, robbing them of their money. They then demanded ₹10 lakh from the officer and one of the women, while holding the other two individuals hostage. The miscreants separated the victims, with the woman being subjected to a gang rape.
The officer, who was later freed by the miscreants, immediately reported the incident to the police. Upon arrival, law enforcement officers found the miscreants had fled the scene.
DIG (Rural) Nimish Agarwal confirmed that the police have filed a case of robbery, assault, extortion, and gang rape based on the complaint from the 23-year-old trainee officer. The officer reported that the miscreants persistently demanded money and violently assaulted him when he tried to intervene as they took the woman away.
The victim, a resident of Indore, is in a state of shock following the assault. Authorities have arrested two suspects, one of whom has a previous criminal record. Eight police teams are currently searching for additional suspects involved in this brutal crime.
