In a shocking incident that has left the Agra community in deep distress, a female engineering student has accused a senior from her college of raping her inside a moving car. The accused, after committing the heinous act, reportedly abandoned her on the roadside before fleeing the scene. A massive manhunt is now underway to apprehend the suspect.

A Brutal Crime in Sikandra

The alleged assault took place in the Sikandra area of Agra on August 10th. According to the victim's complaint, the accused, identified as Shivang Singh, coerced her into his car under the pretext of wanting to meet. Singh, who hails from Ghazipur, allegedly tied her hands, drew curtains to block the view from the outside, and threatened her life before committing the crime.

Desperate Pleas Ignored

Despite the victim’s desperate attempts to resist and raise an alarm, the accused continued with his horrific actions. The victim recounted that the windows of the car were covered, making it impossible for anyone outside to see the crime unfolding. After the assault, the accused cruelly threw her out of the vehicle and fled.

The Aftermath: A Community in Uproar

The victim managed to return to her room and filed a complaint with the police the following day. The local authorities have launched an extensive investigation, including CCTV footage analysis, to track down Singh, who claims to have been at IIT Jammu and Kashmir for the past 10 days. His whereabouts remain unknown.

Outrage and Demands for Justice

This appalling incident has sparked widespread outrage across Agra, with community members and activists demanding swift justice for the victim. The case has also drawn attention to the urgent need for greater safety measures for women in public spaces and institutions. The police are under significant pressure to apprehend the accused and ensure that justice is served swiftly.
