14 KM long jam on Bhopal-Jabalpur highway
In protest against the incident, the crowd blocked the Bhopal-Jabalpur-Nagpur highway from 12 noon on Monday. Hundreds of trucks, cars, school buses, ambulances and other vehicles got stuck, causing a 14-km long jam on the road. There was a jam several kilometers long on the Bhopal-Narmadapuram road.

What is the whole matter?
On the evening of November 21, a 6-year-old girl was playing outside her house in Goharganj when 23-year-old Salman took her to the nearby forest on the pretext of giving her chocolate. There he raped the girl and ran away. When the villagers reached the forest in search of the girl, they found her crying. She was taken to Obaidullaganj Hospital, where doctors confirmed rape.
The girl was referred to AIIMS
On the night of 21st November itself, the doctors referred the girl to AIIMS Bhopal. However, no ambulance was found for an hour, forcing the family to take him in a private vehicle.

At present the girl is undergoing treatment in Bhopal and doctors say that her condition is improving.

He assured strict action against the culprit and said that the government will ensure that the case is tried in a fast-track court. More than 85 hours after the incident, the accused is out of police custody. Police has announced a reward of Rs 10,000 for anyone providing information about accused Salman. For this, posters have been distributed in all the police stations and surrounding villages.
