“Brutal Rape and Torture Unveiled: Woman Endures Month-long Nightmare in MP’s Guna”

In a harrowing case of prolonged abuse, a 23-year-old woman from a village near Guna, Madhya Pradesh, endured a month-long ordeal of rape and torture at the hands of a neighbor. The perpetrator, demanding marriage and control over her parental property, subjected her to unimaginable cruelty. Confined to his house, she suffered repeated sexual assaults, beatings with a belt and water pipe, and the application of chilli powder to her wounds to stifle her cries. Her escape, after enduring a savage round of torture, led her to stagger 5km to reach the Cantonment police station, where authorities were stunned by her condition: lips sealed with glue, swollen eyes, and bruised body.

Prompt action by the police resulted in the arrest of the accused, who now faces charges of rape and causing voluntary injury. The survivor’s anonymity is preserved in accordance with Supreme Court directives safeguarding the privacy of sexual assault victims. This disturbing case underscores the urgent need for robust measures to combat such atrocities and provide effective support to survivors of gender-based violence.
