Jabalpur: In what can be termed a horrific incident, a man in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur who is out on bail in a rape case allegedly raped the same woman at a knife point.
The man was arrested in 2020 for raping the woman who was a minor back then. However, in 2021, after almost a year, he was granted bail.
The man then a few days ago raped her again threatening her with a knife to withdraw the case filed earlier.
