In a shocking incident from Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur, a young woman was forcibly dragged away by a group of men and women while she was practising Garba. The video of the incident has gone viral on social media.

The incident took place on Saturday night, triggering panic among those present and leading to widespread outrage online.

The eyewitnesses said that the woman had arrived in Mandsaur from Rajasthan with a young man and had been living in the area for the past few months. According to NDTV’s sources, she is already married, and her decision to live away from her family had angered her relatives.

On the night of the incident, her family members reached the Bhavsar Dharamshala, dragged her away in full public view, and reportedly flashed what appeared to be a pistol to threaten bystanders.

The dramatic incident, captured on camera, sparked a swift public outcry. Acting on a Dial 112 alert, Kotwali police moved quickly, forming four teams and sealing all exit routes.

Officers caught all the accused within two hours, including a woman, and rescued the victim. A toy pistol and the vehicle used in the incident were also seized.

“The accused have been taken into custody. Initial investigations reveal this was a family dispute. The woman had been living separately from her husband due to his drinking habits and physical abuse. Further inquiries are underway,” NDTV quoted Inspector Pushpendra Singh Rathore as saying.
