Two Karate Instructors Sentenced to Life for Gang-Raping Minor in Madhya PradeshPreviousNext

A court in Guna, Madhya Pradesh, sentenced two Karate instructors, Jagveer Jatav and Sachin Bhatnagar, to life imprisonment and fined them Rs 7,000 each for gang-raping a minor girl multiple times between 2017 and 2019 across various locations, including Mumbai and Malaysia. The third accused was acquitted. The court noted the betrayal of trust and the lasting mental trauma suffered by the victim, who reported the abuse after the accused contacted her again in 2021.
