Arrest of Temple Committee Employees in Connection with Brutal Rape at Ma Sharda Temple

The two suspects have been taken into custody, according to police. “We found the victim lying unconscious on the ground and rushed her to a nearby hospital. Medical report confirmed “brutal rape” leading to serious injuries. She has been referred to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, Rewa. I am yet to receive final report from the doctors. However, it has been learnt that she has regained consciousness,” said a senior police official. 'Ma Sharda' temple committee personnel Narayan Tripathi, a BJP MLA from Maihar (Satna), and the other accused person are both between 25 and 30 years old. “A shameful incident has occurred on the premises of the Sharda temple, which is revered by Hindus across the country. The two arrested turned out to be the employees of the temple committee. The survivor has gained consciousnesses, and hopefully her condition will improve,” he said. Tripathi expressed worry that the "shameful" incident took place on temple property and that the accused are members of the temple committee. Tripathi continued, "It needs to be thoroughly probed, and the offender ought to get severe punishment.

Political Fallout and Outrage Over Brutal Rape at 'Ma Sharda' Temple in Madhya Pradesh

The authorities claim that the survivor also resides on the property where her parents maintain a flower and "pooja samagri" shop for pilgrims who visit the shrine. Notably, the 'Ma Sharda' temple is situated atop the Trikut mountain at a height of 600 ft from the surface in Satna district, around 130 miles from Chitrakoot. In the state that will have Assembly elections in four months, the episode has caused a political issue. K. K. Mishra, the state congress's media coordinator, asserted that the victim is a member of a tribal family. An cruel crime in the BJP-controlled state of Madhya Pradesh serves as a sombre reminder of the horrifying "Nirbhaya" case in Delhi, Mishra told IANS via phone. He urged the BJP's national leadership to take action against the state's home minister Narottam Mishra and chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. “This is the BJP’s ‘swarna yuga’ in Madhya Pradesh where Chouhan calls himself ‘Mama’. He should immediately resign from the Chief Minister’s post on moral ground,” Mishra added.
