Authorities have arrested two main accused, Farhan Khan, a student of the college, and Mohammad Saad, a private employee, following the courageous act of a 20-year-old student who filed a police complaint.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to thoroughly investigate the deeply concerning allegations.
What Is the Bhopal Sexual Assault Case?
In Bhopal, a dangerous gang led by a man named Farhan Khan targeted women college students. The entire operation came into light when two sisters, who were studying B Tech in a Bhopal college, went to the police and shared their painful stories.
The elder sister was raped in 2022 at a house in Jahangirabad. Later, the younger sister was also sexually assaulted after being threatened. Both sisters were pressured to marry and to convert their religion. When they resisted, they were threatened with defamation.
Later, Farhan introduced the younger sister to his friend Adil Khan. Adil molested and eventually raped her. Videos of these crimes were secretly made and used to blackmail the victim further. Many times, the girl was forcibly intoxicated before the assaults.
When police seized Farhan’s phone, they found many obscene videos, especially involving the two sisters.
The police revealed gruesome details from the videos. One such shocking incident showed a victim being “burned with a cigarette.” Farhan had saved these videos in specific folders on his phone. Police believe that Farhan had also “brainwashed several victims to wear religious clothing and observe fasts.”
Some victims also said they were raped inside “moving vehicles while being threatened by weapons.” Others said they were “drugged to break their resistance.”
Another main accused, Sahil Khan, from Panna district of Madhya Pradesh, was also part of this horrifying gang. Sahil, a college dropout, started offering fake dance classes in Bhopal. He mostly targeted poor girls who had come from small villages to study in the city.
He used to take them to lounges and pubs, and later to a rented room. His first victim was a girl from Betul. Sahil spiked her cold drink with intoxicants and then “sexually assaulted her and secretly filmed the act.” Later, Sahil blackmailed her using the video and repeatedly exploited her. Sometimes, he even involved Farhan in these acts.
Interestingly, no videos of assaults by Sahil were found on his phone, but it has been sent for forensic analysis.
There are other accused in the case as well:
- Ali Khan: Raped a college student and recorded the act.
- Saad: A mechanic who helped in transporting the girls for “Rs 500-700 per trip.“
- Abrar and Nabeel: Other associates involved.
Earlier this week, the police registered three FIRs in the case. The charges include sections related to rape, kidnapping, the Freedom of Religion Act, and the POCSO Act.
During interrogation, Farhan “showed no remorse for his actions.”
Police sources also revealed that the gang had possibly targeted women in Indore too.
At present, Farhan, Sahil, and Saad have been arrested.
However, Ali, Abrar, and Nabeel are still “on the run.”
Case Update Till Date
The victim, hailing from Betul, registered an FIR on April 17, 2025, at the Baghsewania police station, recounting a horrifying ordeal that began in 2022. She alleged that Farhan Khan lured her into a “love trap” and subsequently took her to his friend Hameed’s residence in Jahangirabad where she was raped.
Disturbingly, an obscene video of the assault was reportedly recorded and used to blackmail her into further sexual exploitation.
The victim further revealed that Farhan also used the same blackmail tactics to victimize her sister. It was upon discovering pornographic videos of other girls on Farhan’s phone that she resolved to approach the police.
Initial police investigations have unveiled a disturbing pattern, suggesting that the accused were systematically targeting Hindu female students. Sources indicate that victims were allegedly given intoxicants such as marijuana and alcohol and were coerced into consuming meat, particularly mutton. Some victims have also alleged pressure for religious conversion.
Two sisters from Betul testified that Farhan and his associates plied them with marijuana, forced them to eat meat, and then handed them over to other members of the gang for sexual exploitation. The trauma inflicted was so severe that one victim reportedly discontinued her studies in her third year.
The gravity of the situation prompted swift action from the Bhopal Police, leading to the registration of three FIRs across Bagsevania, Ashoka Garden, and Jahangirabad police stations.
The charges include sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, the Information Technology (IT) Act, and the Madhya Pradesh Religious Freedom Act.
Counselling is currently underway for a fourth victim, which may lead to the filing of an additional FIR.
DCP Zone-2 Sanjay Agarwal confirmed the alarming nature of the case, stating,
“A zero FIR has been registered in Bagsevania police station on the complaint of a minor victim. Action has been initiated under POCSO and rape sections. Blackmailing has been confirmed through the video, and the SIT is investigating it thoroughly so that all the culprits can be arrested.”
He further drew a stark comparison to the 1992 Ajmer rape case, where a gang similarly entrapped female students, created compromising videos, and used them for blackmail and further exploitation.
Police have recovered obscene videos of approximately 10 to 15 other girls from the mobile phones of the arrested accused, which are currently under forensic analysis by the cyber team.
The unfolding scandal has ignited political outrage. Bhopal BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma has vehemently condemned the incident, labelling it a “conspiracy like Kerala Story” and demanding public punishment for the accused. He questioned why the accused were being held in private, advocating for public retribution.
Madhya Pradesh government minister Vishwas Kailash Sarang assured that the police acted swiftly in apprehending the accused and that the SIT will uncover every aspect of the conspiracy, emphasizing that “acts like love jihad will not be tolerated in Madhya Pradesh.”
The investigation is ongoing, with the SIT working to identify all individuals involved and to provide justice to the victims of this heinous crime that has brought back haunting memories of a past atrocity.
What Happened in Ajmer in 1992?
The Bhopal case reminds many people of the 1992 Ajmer scandal. In that case, a group of men had gangraped and blackmailed about 100 schoolgirls.
After a long fight for justice, a POCSO court sentenced six men to “life imprisonment” after 32 years.
Earlier, nine others had already been jailed for life, while four were acquitted by the High Court.

The accused included the powerful “Chishty duo of Farooq and Nafis,” who were associated with the famous Ajmer Sharif Dargah. They, along with others, blackmailed girls using nude photos, which were printed and circulated through a local photo lab.
When the Ajmer case became public, “religious tensions flared” in the city. There were “city-wide shutdowns” in Ajmer due to the unrest.
For more than 30 years, victims had to live with constant reminders of their trauma. Court summons and police visits were a regular part of their lives.
In 2023, a Hindi film called Ajmer 92 was made based on this heart-wrenching case.
