The official said after escaping from the clutches of the accused, the woman contacted her fiance and both of them reached the Semaria police station where they narrated the horrific incident to cops.The police immediately registered a case on the duo’s complaint and sent them to a community health centre in Semaria for treatment, said the ASP.The opposition Congress targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government over the gang-rape incident and added the crime has exposed the sorry state of law and order situation in Madhya Pradesh.State Congress president Jitu Patwari said the shameful incident tarnishes the entire humanity and also highlights the ‘horrific state’ of law and order.”In the last three years alone, 7,418 incidents of rape of Dalit and tribal women, 338 gang-rapes and 558 murders have been registered in Madhya Pradesh.On an average, seven Dalit or tribal daughters are becoming victims of this cruelty every day. These figures prove the failure of the BJP government,” the former minister maintained.Patwari alleged that due to inaction on part of the BJP government, crimes have increased in the state and victims are not getting justice.
