On Cam: Sword In Hand, MP Man Gate-Crashes Wedding Of Woman He Raped, Arrested For Abduction Bid

Madhya Pradesh police arrested a man for allegedly attempting to abduct a 22-year-old woman during her wedding in Madhya Pradesh’s Ashok Nagar. The woman– a sexual assault survivor– was attacked by her rapist when she was marrying another man.

A video of the incident went viral on social media on Thursday in which a group of men, including the main accused– identified as Kalu alias Salim Khan– can be seen waving a sword and sticks and dragging a woman out of her house.

The woman was saved after the timely intervention by the neighbours who gathered there after listening to the screams of the victim and her family. Initially, the accused tried to intimidate the onlookers but fled the scene as the crowd swelled, leaving the woman behind.

As per media reports, the man had raped the woman and filed the act in the past. He has used the video to defame the woman and her family. He had also threatened them to not let the woman marry anyone else.

The incident occurred around 6 pm on Thursday when Kalu, along with accomplices Jodha, Sameer, and Shahrukh, went to the woman’s house and tried to stop her marriage, according to a report by NDTV.

The assistants also attacked her family and broke her father’s leg and her brother’s arm.

During the chaos, the accused also threatened to harm the family of the victim and her fiance.

Police have registered two first information reports (FIRs) in the case on the complaint of the woman and her father.

The first FIR was registered on the woman’s complaint under sections 376 (rape) and 363 (attempt to kidnap), while the second one was under sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 294 (using obscene language) and 506 (criminal intimidation) on the complaint of her father, according to Hindustan Times.
