A shocking incident of rape has come to light in Bhopal, where a woman from Jabalpur has alleged that she was raped by her social media friend, Ajim Salim, a resident of Prayagraj, in a hotel in the city. The accused had promised to marry the victim soon, but later refused to do so, prompting her to file a complaint with the police. According to the police, the survivor, a resident of Jabalpur, had befriended Ajim Salim on social media in February this year. As their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship, the two families began discussing marriage. However, Ajim Salim allegedly took advantage of the situation and raped the victim in a hotel in Pushpa Nagar, Bhopal, under the pretext of taking her on a trip.

When she confronted him about his intentions, he refused to marry her, leading her to file a complaint with the police. The police have registered a case of rape against Ajim Salim and have begun investigating the matter. The victim’s complaint was initially registered at the Jabalpur police station, but the case was later transferred to the Aishbagh police station in Bhopal, where the alleged incident took place.
