In a disturbing incident from Guna, Madhya Pradesh, a woman was reportedly raped and tortured by her neighbour for a month. The accused allegedly demanded that she marry him and transfer her parental property into his name.
According to the police, the 23-year-old woman, who lived with her mother, was allegedly confined, sexually assaulted, whipped with a belt, and beaten with a water pipe.
The accused also allegedly applied chilli powder to her wounds and sealed her lips with glue to prevent her from screaming.
As per The Times of India report, the victim told the police that the accused forcibly took her to his residence a month ago, where he confined her to a room, depriving her of any means of communication or escape.
On Tuesday night, after enduring another episode of torment, she somehow managed to escape from the house and walked 5 kilometres through the night to reach the Cantonment police station by morning.
Upon her arrival at the station, the police were appalled by her condition. Her lips were sealed shut with glue, her eyes were swollen, and her body bore visible signs of bruising.
Sharing an update on the victim’s condition, Dileep Rajoriya, the police officer, told Hindustan Times that she is stable after hospitalisation. He also said that the woman’s mother was away in Shivpuri when the assault happened.
Police stated that the accused was arrested while illegally supplying liquor on Wednesday night. He has been booked under the Indian Penal Code’s Sections 376 (rape), 294 (obscene language), and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), as well as under the Excise Act, adding, they could add additional charges after further investigation.
