His mobile and the video have been recovered. We are investigating further.”

Following the incident, Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday, questioning their silence over the recent rape incident in Ujjain. Patwari pointed out that while BJP leaders are protesting nationwide against the rape and murder at RG Kar Medical College & Hospital in Kolkata, they have remained silent on the Ujjain incident.

On September 4, a woman was allegedly raped in broad daylight on a public footpath in Ujjain district, Madhya Pradesh. A video of the incident went viral on social media.

Following the complaint from the victim, the accused was arrested the same day and sent to jail the next day.

Speaking to media, Jitu Patwari said, “BJP is protesting across the country against the rape and murder in Kolkata, West Bengal. Meanwhile, in Madhya Pradesh, 18 women are sexually assaulted daily. A woman was raped in broad daylight on a footpath in CM Mohan Yadav’s constituency. Why are MP CM Mohan Yadav, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, BJP, and PM Narendra Modi silent?”

He further added, “There is ‘Jungle Raj’ in Madhya Pradesh when it comes to law and order. No one is safe here.”

Reacting to Patwari’s remarks, Madhya Pradesh BJP chief VD Sharma said , “The Congress party has no real issues to corner the government, so they try to twist incidents like this.

The MP government took immediate action in the Ujjain case, arrested the accused, and sent him to jail. Our government ensures strict action against such criminals.”

Sharma also added that the MP government was the first in the country to introduce the death penalty for such crimes.
