Madhya Pradesh Crime: In a shocking incident, a rape-accused tried to abduct a 22-year-old woman he had allegedly raped earlier, from her wedding in Ashoknagar district of Madhya Pradesh. As per reports, the accused, Salim Khan alias Kalu, had raped the victim on multiple occasions, filmed the sexual assault and used the videos as leverage to blackmail her.
The victim’s parents eventually fixed her marriage with another man, but on the day of the wedding, Salim, along with three other accomplices– Jodha, Shahrukh, and Sameer– stormed the young woman’s house and attempted to kidnap her from the wedding venue.
Videos of the brazen attack have gone viral on social media showing the attackers, brandishing melee weapons, dragging the woman out of her house and onto the road as she cries in agony.
