Madhya Pradesh Police

The Madhya Pradesh police, which arrested the accused in the shocking Ujjain Rape Case, said they took an extraordinary effort to crack the case. They interrogated hundreds of people and scanned footage from over 700 CCTV cameras before they found links to the main accused Bharat Soni--an auto driver who allegedly picked up the 15-year-old survivor from the Ujjain railway station, raped her, and left her half-naked and bleeding.

Shyam Baba, a murder convict arrested in 2009, has now been performing the last rites of dead bodies abandoned by their own families due to COVID-19. Working at a crematorium in Madhya Pradesh's Dhar district, he helps to unload the bodies and perform the last rites in a dignified way. He was recently released on a parole and the jail administration has granted him additional two-month parole considering his efforts.

A video went viral on August 7 in which two policemen can be seen brutally dragging a Sikh man by his hair in Palsud town of Madhya Pradesh's Barwani District. Both the policemen were suspended by the Barwani Superintendent of Police after finding them to be guilty of their actions. Reportedly, the victim Prem Singh earns his livelihood by running a small shop near the local Police post.
