Outrage Erupts in Madhya Pradesh After Rape of Six-Year-Old
Raisen, Madhya Pradesh – A wave of anger has swept through the Raisen district of Madhya Pradesh following the brutal rape of a six-year-old girl on November 21st. Protests erupted on Monday as residents demanded the immediate arrest and stringent punishment of the accused, identified as Salman, 23, who remains at large.
According to police reports, the incident occurred in Paanjara village, where Salman allegedly lured the girl with treats before taking her to a nearby forest and sexually assaulting her. The girl is currently receiving treatment at AIIMS, Bhopal, and is reported to be out of danger but under close observation.
The incident sparked immediate outrage, with hundreds of locals, joined by members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal, staging demonstrations and blockading National Highway 45, a major route between Bhopal and Raisen. The blockade resulted in significant traffic disruptions for several hours. Protesters are demanding the death penalty for the accused.
“The locals have alleged that the government’s 108 ambulance service was not available and the child’s family had to arrange a private vehicle to take her to Bhopal”, stated in The Hindu report.
Raisen Superintendent of Police (SP) Pankaj Pandey assured the public that authorities are pursuing all leads. Fifteen police teams are actively searching for Salman, combing through his known locations and analyzing CCTV footage.
“He had been living in Gauharganj for only three months for labour work. For some time, he had been visiting the girl’s neighborhood and used to give her candies and chocolates to make a contact,” SP Pandey added.
The case is registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The search for Salman continues.
