Madhya Pradesh CM Vows Action Over Ujjain Rape Case Amid Political Response

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav promises strict action in response to the Ujjain rape case, while accusing the opposition of political maneuvering. The incident involved a woman scrap collector, reportedly assaulted after being forced to consume alcohol. The opposition criticizes the BJP government’s failure to protect women.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday vowed strict action in the ongoing Ujjain rape case, and criticized the opposition for politicizing the crime while ignoring similar issues elsewhere, such as the Kolkata rape-murder.

The assault involved a woman scrap collector allegedly raped by a man in Ujjain after being forced to consume alcohol. The crime was brought to light after a passerby captured a video, which went viral on social media.

Opposition leaders have condemned the BJP-led government for failing to ensure women's safety. Yadav emphasized that the state is committed to good governance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will deal strictly with offenders.
