A disturbing video that has been widely shared, sparking outrage, shows a man raping a woman on the road in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain. The man had allegedly got the woman drunk before sexually assaulting her, and the video has now led to his arrest. Rather than step in to stop the sexual assault, onlookers recorded it with their phones, shared the footage on social media, and it got viral very fast.

The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon in the Koyla Phatak area, one of the busiest intersections in the city. The accused, identified as Lokesh, was later arrested. According to police, the survivor, a ragpicker, met Lokesh in the area. He lured her under the pretext of marriage and convinced her to accompany him.

An eyewitness filmed the incident and shared the video online, while the accused fled the scene after threatening the woman. The viral video helped police locate the survivor, who was brought to the station, where a case was registered based on her statement.

A political firestorm broke out following the event, with the opposition Congress holding the ruling BJP responsible for the state's deteriorating law and order situation.
