A 17-year-old schoolgirl was allegedly gangraped in Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh, after three men tied up her male friend and held them captive in a forest, police reported on Monday. The incident occurred on August 19, following a complaint lodged by the survivor's family on Sunday, said Gopal Ghosale, the in-charge of Pachmarhi Police Station.
The suspects, including a local Gypsy driver and two individuals working at a hotel, allegedly took the survivor and her male friend to a dense forest near the South Scout Guide area, where the friend was tied up and the girl was allegedly assaulted. The suspects then released the duo at a bus stand and threatened them with death if they reported the crime.
The survivor informed her sister, who subsequently filed a complaint. Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari condemned the act as a "stain" on the state's law and order situation, emphasizing the urgent need for strong action to protect women's safety, especially in popular tourist destinations like Pachmarhi.
