THE INCIDENT: After a distressing video of a young girl pleading for help circulated widely on Wednesday, the Ujjain police swiftly assembled a Special Investigation Team (SIT) comprising 28 members to lead the inquiry.

The survivor hails from Chetpura village in Satna and had gone missing from her home while still in her school uniform on September 24. She managed to reach Ujjain by train, where she sought assistance from several autorickshaw drivers, though she had no specific destination in mind. Ultimately, she boarded an autorickshaw reportedly driven by an autorickshaw driver named Soni, who transported her to Jeevankhedi and raped her.

The circumstances surrounding why the minor left Satna and journeyed to Ujjain remain unclear at this point. As per media reports, the victim's father is coping with mental health issues, and her mother has been absent from the family for several years. Consequently, the girl had been residing with her grandfather and older brother.
