A disturbing case of alleged blackmail and rape has surfaced in Bhopal, where a 22-year-old college student has accused a man of sexually assaulting her repeatedly over three years under the threat of leaking her private photos. The accused, identified as Kuldeep Bhadauria, is now the subject of a police manhunt. According to the victim, a resident of Ashoka Garden, the ordeal began after her close friend tragically died in an accident. While visiting the deceaseds family in Itarsi, she met Kuldeep Bhadauria, who was also a friend of the late youth. The victim alleges that Kuldeep illicitly transferred private photos of her from the deceased friends phone to his own device. He then reportedly edited these images and used them as a tool for blackmail. Three years ago, under the explicit threat of circulating these photos, Kuldeep allegedly took her to a hotel in Station Bajaria, where he first raped her. The sexual abuse continued multiple times thereafter, driven by the persistent blackmail. The victim finally gathered the courage to approach the Piplani Police Station to file a complaint. Given that the alleged crime occurred in the Station Bajaria area, the case has since been transferred to the Bajaria Police Station. Authorities have launched a search operation for Kuldeep Bhadauria, who is currently absconding. Police are investigating the allegations and working to apprehend the accused.
