In a horrifying incident reported by The Times of India on Saturday, a 34-year-old pregnant woman in Chand Ka Pura village, near Ambah town in Morena district, Madhya Pradesh, was allegedly subjected to sexual assault and subsequently set on fire, resulting in 80% burns.
According to Inspector Alok Parihar of Ambah police station, the victim had gone to the village to negotiate a compromise with a woman who had accused her husband of rape. Tragically, instead of finding resolution, the victim was reportedly raped by three men present in the accused woman’s house. Following the assault, the perpetrators, along with the accused woman, doused the victim in fuel and set her on fire.
A video capturing the victim being rushed to a hospital in Gwalior has been shared with the police. In the footage, the victim alleges that she was first subjected to a gang rape before being set ablaze by the accused woman and the three men.
The victim’s husband, who was out on bail in connection with the rape case, has submitted the video as evidence to the police. Although the victim has provided a statement to the magistrate, the police are yet to officially record her statement as the investigation unfolds.
