In a harrowing incident from Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior district, a nine-month pregnant woman, Anju, was abducted from her home in Gurja village by a group of armed men led by Yogendra Gurjar. The assailants fired multiple rounds at her residence and assaulted her in-laws before dragging her into a dense forest.

Assault on Family Sparks Urgent Police Response

The attackers, over a dozen in number, also brutally attacked Anju’s mother-in-law, grandmother-in-law, and uncle-in-law, who were later admitted to the hospital. The kidnapping sparked an immediate and massive manhunt by the police, who set up checkpoints and launched search operations across the surrounding areas.

Brutal Forest Trek While 9 Months Pregnant

After abducting her, the kidnappers forced Anju to walk nearly 25 kilometers on foot through rough and hilly forest terrain. Despite being in her final trimester of pregnancy, she was made to navigate this dangerous path barefoot, resulting in bleeding wounds and severe exhaustion.

Police Rescue and Medical Aid

On Thursday, based on a tip-off, police traced the kidnappers to the Lanka Pahad region. As law enforcement officers closed in, the abductors panicked and fled, abandoning Anju in the forest. She was later found by police and immediately taken to Kamla Raja Hospital for medical treatment.

Accused Still on the Run

Police have launched a manhunt for Yogendra Gurjar and his accomplices involved in the kidnapping and assault. Authorities have vowed strict action and are continuing raids to bring the culprits to justice. The incident has triggered public outrage and raised concerns over rising rural violence against women.
