In a deeply disturbing case from Berasia, a 20-year-old woman has alleged that she was raped by her brother-in-law just three days after her marriage in January. According to the police, the incident occurred while her husband was away, and the accused was reportedly under the influence of alcohol.
The survivor stated in her complaint that when she disclosed the assault to her husband, he dismissed her concerns and instructed her to remain silent. Her mother-in-law allegedly ignored her pleas for help and threatened to expel her from the house if she spoke out.
Initially intimidated into silence, the woman said the brother-in-law continued to make advances and attempts to assault her. Unable to bear the continued trauma, she eventually fled her in-laws’ residence and approached the Berasia police station.
Station in-charge Arun Sharma confirmed that a rape case has been registered against the brother-in-law, while the husband and mother-in-law have been named co-accused for their alleged complicity and failure to protect the victim. All three accused are currently absconding, and efforts are underway to locate and arrest them.
In a separate case in Bhopal, a 27-year-old widow from a colony under Sukhi Sewania police jurisdiction fell victim to a deceitful marriage scam. Following her husband’s death two months ago, she was approached by Arvind Jain, a man she knew previously.
Jain lured her with promises of marriage, exploiting her vulnerability. On April 19, he performed a marriage ritual by applying sindoor and took her to his home, where he sexually exploited her for ten days. Subsequently, he expelled her from his house.
