In a shocking incident from Rajasthan, around 20 women were allegedly gang-raped on the pretext of employment opportunities in Anganwadi. A case of gang rape was filed against the chairperson of the Sirohi Municipal Council in Rajasthan, Mahendra Mevada, and the former municipal council Commissioner, Mahendra Choudhary.

According to an India Today report, they have been accused of gang rape of nearly 20 women under the guise of providing jobs in Anganwadi. The accused also filmed the act and blackmailed the victims later demanding Rs 5 lakh each.

The incident was brought to notice after a woman from the Pali district approached the police, claiming that Mevada and Choudhary had lured her and over 20 other women with job opportunities and sexually assaulted them.

The woman also alleged that the accused filmed the sexual assaults and later blackmailed the victims by threatening to release the footage on social media – demanding Rs five lakh each.

The complainant told the police that, she, along with other women, travelled to Sirohi several months ago to work in Anganwadi and met with the accused, who provided them with accommodation and meals.

She further alleged that they were subjected to sexual assault after consuming the food they were served laced with sedatives.

The women confronted the accused upon regaining consciousness who admitted to deceiving them.

Deputy Superintendent of Police, Paras Choudhary, said that the women had earlier filed a false complaint. However, the Rajasthan High Court later ordered a case to be registered following a petition by eight women.
