Manoj Ahirwar, a 26-year-old man from Bhairopur in Sehore district, Madhya Pradesh, was arrested for allegedly murdering a 17-year-old girl who had accused him of rape. The incident occurred in Raisen district after Ahirwar, who had been released on bail two months earlier, pressured the victim to withdraw her complaint and marry him as his second wife. According to police, Ahirwar had initially lured the girl with promises of a better life before raping her. The victim had filed a complaint under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act a year prior. On Thursday, when Ahirwar confronted the victim and her mother, he attacked them, resulting in the girl's death and injuries to her mother. Police apprehended Ahirwar in Bhopal, where he confessed to the crime during interrogation. A case has been registered under Sections 103 (murder) and 109 (attempt to murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), with further investigations ongoing.
