Madhya Pradesh is set to take stringent actions following the revelation of a disturbing rape and blackmail case targeting female college students in Bhopal. State Minister Vishvas Sarang emphasized that such crimes will be met with severe penalties to deter future incidents.

According to reports, several students from various private colleges were allegedly manipulated into compromising situations by former students, who then blackmailed them with illicit video recordings. So far, five victims have come forward, leading to the arrest of four suspects by the police.

Special Investigation Teams (SITs) have been established to further scrutinize the allegations.
