Horror on Ujjain-Indore Highway Echoes Nirbhaya B*utality
A 20yo woman from Indore was SAed by five men inside a moving car while travelling on the Ujjain–Indore route in Madhya Pradesh on October 26. According to her complaint, she had become friends with 40yo Chakresh Jain through Instagram. He invited her to meet him in Ujjain, following which she travelled there by bus. She met Jain near Meghdoot Hotel at around 7:30 pm, where he offered her a drink that made her feel dizzy.
In a video statement, the victim said that five men were involved in the ass*ult. She claimed that the men SAed her inside the moving car, physically ass*ulted her and inserted a plastic pipe into her private parts. After driving around for more than two hours, they abandoned her near Aurobindo Hospital in Indore. She contacted a friend, who helped her reach Nanakheda police station in Ujjain, where she filed a complaint around midnight. Police registered an FIR against two men based on her complaint.
Police have now arrested the main accused, 40-year-old Chakresh Jain, while the second accused, identified as Rajesh Panthi, is absconding. Jain was produced before a court and sent to police custody until November 5. The investigation is ongoing.
