A 90-year-old woman was allegedly raped by four masked men in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh. She is being treated at the hospital and is out of danger.

A tragic incident has surfaced in Madhya Pradesh’s Khandwa district, where a nonagenarian woman was allegedly raped by four masked men. This alarming event has prompted authorities to launch a probe led by a special investigation team (SIT), as confirmed by the police on Saturday.

The victim, around 90 years old, is currently receiving medical treatment at the district hospital for injuries sustained during the assault. Fortunately, her condition is reported to be stable and she is out of danger.

The horrifying incident occurred on Thursday night when the woman was alone in her hut situated in an agricultural field in her village, approximately 55 km from the district headquarters. The next morning, the survivor informed her daughter, who resides in another village, about the ordeal. Her daughter then took her to the district hospital for immediate medical attention.

Upon their arrival at the hospital, the staff advised the victim and her daughter to notify the police regarding the incident, according to Khandwa Superintendent of Police Manoj Rai, who shared details over the phone.

Following the complaint, the police registered a case under section 70 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which pertains to gang rape. In response, an SIT, led by an additional superintendent of police, has been formed to investigate the incident. Three teams have been deployed to track down the culprits involved in the crime. Additionally, the police have announced a reward of Rs 10,000 for information leading to their arrest.
