Rape in Ujjain: Man Assaults Woman After Alcohol, Video Goes Viral

A man identified as Lokesh allegedly raped a scrap collector after making her drink alcohol in the Agar Naka area, as reported by news agency on Thursday.

The incident, which took place on Wednesday, was brought to light after a video of the assault went viral on social media. Kotwali Area's City Superintendent of Police (CSP) Om Prakash Mishra stated that Lokesh had promised to marry the victim, made her consume liquor, and then raped her.
