In a shocking incident early Wednesday morning, two young Army officers were assaulted, and one of their two women friends was allegedly gang-raped by a group of six men near Jam Gate along the Mhow-Mandleshwar Road in Madhya Pradesh.
According to police, two of the six assailants have been arrested, and a manhunt is underway to apprehend the remaining culprits.
DIG Nimish Agrawal provided details of the incident, stating that the two officers from the Mhow cantonment town had gone out for a night trip and were sitting in a car with their two friends when the attackers appeared. The group of six men allegedly surrounded the officers and assaulted them.
One of the officers and one of the women were detained by the attackers, who then demanded ₹10 lakh from the other officer and his friend. The officer, instructed to bring the money, managed to reach a location with mobile phone coverage and informed his superiors of the situation. Before help could arrive, the attackers had fled the scene.
The four victims were taken to Mhow Civil Hospital for medical examination at around 6:30 AM. The investigation is ongoing, and efforts are being made to track down the remaining suspects.
