Bhopal: In another horrific and shameful incident, a newly married woman was gangraped in front of her husband in Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh.

According to reports, the incident took place on Monday when the couple was going to offer prayers at the Bhairav ​​Baba temple located under Gurh police station, about 30 km from district headquarters Rewa.

The victim filed a complaint on October 22, after which a medical test was performed that confirmed the rape. The victim was admitted to the Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Rewa.

She told the police that after they prayed, they (the couple) were sitting at a place when a group of people came and beat them.

The accused first tied the husband to a tree and beat him and then raped the woman, according to the victim’s complaint. The accused also shot a rape video and threatened to make the video viral on social media if the couple informed the police.

The couple attended college together and recently got married. The victim also told the police that the five to six people who committed the crime were drunk.

The police also confirmed the incident, saying that an FIR was registered on October 22, but no one has been arrested so far.

Superintendent of Police (SP) Rewa Vivek Singh while clarifying the incident said that the incident took place in the afternoon of October 21 and the victim reached the police station in the afternoon of October 22.

He said the police immediately registered the case without any delay. “Looking at the seriousness of the case, the police have detained several suspects,” he said, assuring that all accused persons would be arrested soon.

The incident sparked political controversies, with claims that the police deliberately held up the issue because of the Regional Industry Conclave held in Rewa on October 23.

“The victim couple continued to visit the police station but their request was not heeded. The police deliberately tried to suppress the issue as the Regional Industry Conclave was scheduled for the next day (October 23) in Rewa,” said Kavita Pandey, a local Congress leader.
