Homes Demolished in Madhya Pradesh Over Obscene Video Case
In a town called Shamgarh in Madhya Pradesh, two men named Rihan and Babu were arrested for allegedly making and sharing a private video of a young girl without her consent.
They demanded money from the girl's family to keep the video private.
When the family couldn't pay the full amount, the video was leaked.
This made people in the town very angry, and they protested, demanding action against the accused.
The authorities then demolished parts of the homes of Rihan and Babu.
The police are investigating the case under several laws that protect children and deal with technology-related crimes.
