Congress leader and former CM Kamalnath posted on X, "In Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district, a distressing incident has emerged in which a husband was tied to a tree while his wife was subjected to a horrific gang rape. According to reports, the newlywed couple had gone to a nearby spot for a picnic, where five attackers first assaulted the husband and then carried out the assault on his wife right in front of him. The assailants also recorded a video of the crime and threatened to make it viral to silence the victim.
"Despite the rising incidents of such crimes in Madhya Pradesh, the government’s focus seems to be elsewhere. Sisters and daughters now find it difficult to step outside safely. The police administration appears to be failing to maintain law and order. The Chief Minister, who also serves as the Home Minister, seems to have handed the state over to criminals. Crime and lawlessness are prevalent everywhere, while the government remains occupied with events and advertisements," he said.
Kamalnath added, "I urge the government to establish an effective plan in each district, combining the efforts of police and social organizations to prevent such crimes. Additionally, the government should strengthen intelligence systems to proactively prevent these tragic incidents from recurring."
