The naked body of a 28-year-old woman, who was allegedly raped before she was murdered, was found in a one-room tenement in Bhopal on Thursday, the police said. During post-mortem a beer bottle and a soft drink bottle were found inserted in her private parts, the police claimed.

The woman was identified as a resident of Icchawar town in Sehore district. She was living with a man in a rented accommodation in the Pragati Nagar locality of Bhopal.
The police said residents of Pragati Nagar informed them about a foul smell emanating from the house. When a police team broke open the door of the one-room accommodation, it found the body of the woman without any clothes on her. The body had partially decomposed, suggesting she was raped and killed a couple of days earlier, the police said.
Ashoka Garden town inspector Sunil Shrivastava said, “Though neighbours thought the couple was husband and wife, their marital status was yet to be established by the police. They came from a humble background. They hardly interacted with their neighbours. While the woman mostly stayed at home, the man is said to be a labourer.”

“The house in which the woman had been living for the past few months was owned by a man who lives in Saudi Arabia. The post-mortem report established rape and insertion of two bottles in her private parts. The man who is supposed to be the woman’s husband is missing. We are investigating the matter and are trying to nab the man.”

I have spent over a decade chronicling Madhya Pradesh’s political and social landscape, covering politics, investigative journalism, crime, human interest, and government policy, blending sharp insight with ground‑level depth. I have closely tracked three assembly elections, three Lok Sabha elections, leadership transitions in MP while exposing governance lapses, tender irregularities, and flawed policy rollouts. My reports have revealed gaps in the Cheetah project, irregularities in medical education, rigging in recruitment exams, and loopholes in policy implementation. In crime reporting, I have moved beyond FIRs to map systemic patterns — from organised crime networks and gender‑based violence to custodial accountability — balancing urgency with sensitivity. My journalism is defined by a commitment to human interest. I have profiled the marginalised Bancchda community, documented atrocities against tribal groups, and highlighted efforts to preserve their culture through heritage liquor and revival of spiritual practices. I have reported on farmers struggling with failed MSP promises, giving voice to those often reduced to statistics in policy files. Passionate about field reporting, I have reported on rampant sand mining in Chambal and Narmada, pharmaceutical companies supplying medicines under altered names, the dire condition of schools and colleges, the plight of commercial sex workers, and skewed sex ratios in specific districts. Beyond deadlines, and as HT’s state correspondent and assistant editor in Madhya Pradesh, I engage with ministers, farmers, students, and activists, believing the best policy stories begin with a single human voice. A postgraduate in Journalism and Mass Communication, I also hold a diploma in sports journalism.
