Ujjain: Man rapes woman on roadside; bystanders film act

The man allegedly got the woman drunk before sexually assaulting her, and the video ultimately led to his arrest. The shocking incident, which took place on Wednesday, was reportedly filmed by bystanders but nobody came forward to help the woman.

According to Om Prakash Mishra, City Superintendent of Police (CSP) for the Kotwali area, the accused, identified as Lokesh, had lured the victim with a promise of marriage. After coercing her to drink liquor, he raped her.

Shockingly, several passersby witnessed the crime but chose to film it rather than intervene.

These videos subsequently spread online, sparking widespread public outrage. Ujjain is home to Lord Shiva's famous Mahakaal temple which is visited by lakhs of devotees every year. Last year, in another shocking incident that brings a slur and blot on humanity, a minor became victim of a brutal rape in Ujjain and sought help by going from door to door but nobody helped her.
