Madhya Pradesh Tribal Woman Gang-Rape Case: Police Await Post-Mortem, Forensic Report Amid Brutality Claims
In a twist, the police in Madhya Pradesh stated on Sunday that "no hard, metal, or wooden object" was recovered from the crime scene in the deeply disturbing incident—reminiscent of the infamous Nirbhaya case in Delhi—which has emerged from Khandwa district, where an elderly tribal woman was gang-raped on Saturday.
The police are awaiting 'forensic and post-mortem report.' Allegedly, she was brutally tortured and ultimately lost her life.
The police also said no body part was protruding from her body, when police recovered it and sent for post-mortem. Speaking to IANS, Rajesh Raghuwanshi, additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) stated that the matter is under investigation.
He said, 'the victim had accompanied the accused Sunil and Hari, as she was known to them, to their house on Friday evening, where the three consumed alcohol together, as witnesses said.'
On Saturday morning, Hari's mother informed the victim's family that she was unwell and advised them to take her home. The family took her back but did not inform the police until after her death.
Although she was bleeding profusely, the authorities have not recovered any sharp object that may have been used. "No body part was protruding," the officer said.
The post-mortem and forensic reports are expected to clarify the cause of her injuries and death. Some reports indicate that the perpetrators used a sharp metal object to cause severe internal injuries, but police have not confirmed this claim.
The accused—two individuals—have been taken into police custody. Other reports suggest that the perpetrators inflicted extreme suffering, leading to prolonged agony before the victim succumbed to her wounds.
The victim, a 45-year-old mother of two, was allegedly robbed of Rs 20,000 after the assault and left to die due to a lack of timely medical intervention.
The crime occurred on Saturday morning, and she passed away the same afternoon near Roshni village, under the jurisdiction of the Khalwa police station.
The senior police officer stated: "The woman was known to the accused and stayed at their house on Friday after coming back from marriage. The three had a drinking session together. The reason for her excessive bleeding needs to be medically established. Both accused individuals denied any wrongdoing, and we are investigating the matter thoroughly."
Reacting to the tragedy, the Congress Party condemned the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government and announced a three-member investigative committee, composed entirely of women, to ensure justice.
The victim's family revealed that she was last seen with Sunil and Hari on Friday evening. She was later found in severe pain, semi-conscious in a shed.
She confirmed the assault before succumbing to her injuries. Authorities continue their investigation, and the post-mortem report remains pending.

"Politically motivated": BRS slams PC Ghosh Commission for delaying submission of Kaleshwaram project report
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 12 (ANI) Amid chaos over former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's appearance at PC Ghosh Commission in connection with the alleged irregularities in Kaleshwaram project, Bharat Rashtra Samith (BRS) leader KP Vivekanand Goud labelled the Commission as being 'politically motivated' and expressed reservations over the delay in submission of the report on the project. He informed that the PC Ghosh Commission was expected to submit the report on the Kaleshwaram project within 100 days, but it has been extending the deadline. 'Today, in connection with the PC Ghosh Commission inquiry, our leader, KCR, was called. The PC Ghosh Commission was supposed to submit the report on the Kaleshwaram project within 100 days. But it has only been extending the deadline, which clearly shows that this is a politically motivated commission. Out of 239 pillars, only two pairs required repairs. Just to defame KCR, they are dragging out the Commission,' Goud told ANI here. This came as KCR appeared before PC Ghosh Commission in connection with alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project. Heavy police deployment was witnessed at Hyderabad's BRK Bhavan on Wednesday ahead of KCR's appearance. Previously, BRS MLA and former Irrigation minister Harish Rao and BJP MP Etela Rajender, who previously served as Finance Minister in the BRS government, appeared before the commission. Justice PC Ghose Commission on Tuesday issued summons to former Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), former Minister Harish Rao, and BJP MP Etela Rajender, who also served as a minister during the BRS regime, in the ongoing investigation into alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP). The Commission, which has been probing financial and procedural lapses in the multi-crore irrigation project, directed the three political leaders to appear for questioning in the first week of June. On June 8, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament Konda Vishweshwar Reddy described the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project in Telangana as the 'world's biggest engineering blunder' and termed it a 'huge scam' that has severely impacted the state's economy. Speaking to ANI, Reddy said, 'Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project in Telangana is the world's biggest engineering blunder and it's a huge scam which ruined Telangana economically. It is one of the prime reasons that the richest state of Telangana is in such a horrible economic condition. We have a loan of Rs 8 lakh crore.' 'The present Congress government does not have money to pay salaries and run the government,' he added, blaming the ruling party for the deepening financial crisis. Telangana Irrigation and Civil Supplies Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy also held that the previous BRS government was responsible for the project's failure, labelling it the 'biggest man-made disaster' since Independence and the 'most expensive engineering failure' caused by any state government in India. He said that Telangana is currently paying Rs 16,000 crore annually in interest and instalments on high-cost loans borrowed during the BRS regime for this 'faulty' project, thereby placing an enormous burden on the state's finances and its farmers.
