Woman at picnic spot with husband ‘grouped by five men’ in Madhya Pradesh

The incident involved a woman who was allegedly attacked by five men while she was out with her husband at a picnic spot in Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh.

According to police, the suspect filmed the incident. “In her statement, the woman claimed that a video had been made, and the attackers threatened to make it viral if she spoke out. The couple did not report the incident out of fear,” said Superintendent of Police Vivek Singh.

The incident involved a woman who was allegedly attacked by five men while she was out with her husband at a picnic spot in Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh. The couple had driven to the location on their motorcycle on October 21. According to Singh, the group of men were bathing, cooking and partying nearby when they approached the couple, assaulted the man and then separated him from his wife, after which she was raped.

The couple reported themselves to the police a day later, leading to the filing of an FIR. Singh stated that the woman claimed there were four to five attackers, but investigation revealed that others may have helped them.

Five unknown people have been charged with gang rape. On the day of the incident, the newlyweds had first visited a local temple before heading to a picnic spot about two kilometers away. The attackers were reportedly drunk when police found homemade liquor bottles at the scene. Most suspects are believed to be from the Rewa district. Authorities are also investigating videos showing the group picnicking shortly before the couple arrived.

The woman said one of her attackers had tattoos on his hand and chest. The police have arrested several people as part of the ongoing investigation. An officer noted that after the couple visited the police station on Tuesday, a medical examination was conducted.
