A man allegedly raped a scrap collector after making her drink alcohol in the Agar Naka area of Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain. The incident came to light after a video of the rape, recorded by unidentified persons, went viral on social media.
According to Kotwali Area’s City Superintendent of Police (CSP) Om Prakash Mishra, the accused, identified as Lokesh, promised to marry the victim and then intoxicated her with liquor before committing the crime on Wednesday. Bystanders who witnessed the incident chose to film it instead of intervening to stop the crime. Lokesh later fled the scene.
After the effect of the alcohol wore off, the victim filed a complaint with the police, leading to Lokesh’s arrest. The police are currently investigating the case and have assured that strict action will be taken against the accused.
