Woman says she was drugged, filmed and blackmailed; police investigating
Ajmer — A married woman from Ajmer has alleged that she was drugged, gang-raped and filmed by seven relatives, including her husband, and later blackmailed and threatened with death, according to a police complaint filed recently. The matter is under investigation.
In her complaint, the woman said she was married in 2022. After she did not conceive, she was reportedly subjected to continuous harassment and beaten, including demands related to dowry, the FIR said. The complainant alleged that her in-laws brought a tantric and took her to a temple for rituals purportedly meant to remove "negative energy." During this period, she said, relatives blindfolded her and made her consume an intoxicating substance.
She alleged that while she was unconscious, the accused took her to a room in her in-laws' house, sexually assaulted her and recorded the act. The FIR states the accused then threatened to circulate the explicit video and kill members of her family if she objected. The accused are also said to have retained several of her identity and financial documents, including her mobile phone, Aadhaar card, education certificate, marksheet, ATM card and bank passbook.
- The complaint names seven relatives, including the husband.
- The woman has been living at her parental home since 7 May, according to the FIR.
- She alleged that on 29 September the accused threatened to kill her brother and father and to implicate them in a false case.
"The investigation has been handed over to CO Satyendra Singh Negi."
The Ajmer police have registered a case and launched an inquiry. The probe has been entrusted to Circle Officer Satyendra Singh Negi, the FIR records. Authorities have not released further details of the accused or of any arrests as the investigation is ongoing.
| Key dates | Allegation/Action |
|---|---|
| 2022 | Woman married |
| 7 May | Woman moved to parental home |
| 29 September | Alleged death-threats to brother and father |
The allegations combine multiple offences, including sexual assault, criminal intimidation and unlawful retention of personal documents. If substantiated, the case would invoke provisions of the Indian Penal Code related to rape, criminal conspiracy, wrongful confinement and extortion through threat. The FIR itself records the complainant’s version of events; investigation will determine culpability and evidence.
Ajmer sits at the heart of Rajasthan, where family disputes and dowry-related harassment remain persistent social problems in many districts. Cases alleging ritualistic interventions, such as the involvement of a tantric or temple rites, have appeared in other complaints across the state, drawing attention to the exploitation of vulnerable women through superstition and coercion. In this complaint, the woman’s allegation that she was administered an intoxicant while blindfolded will be a central point for investigators as they seek forensic and medical evidence.
Police records show the accused allegedly used the threat of publicising an obscene video and threats to life to silence the victim and her family. The FIR also says several of her identity and bank documents were retained by the accused, which the complainant contends hindered her ability to seek redress earlier.
The probe under CO Satyendra Singh Negi continues. Further developments, including any arrests or forensic findings, have not been disclosed in the FIR summary. The allegations are serious and carry wide implications for the accused family and for wider public concern about safety and the misuse of intimate recordings to intimidate women.
Local legal and social support mechanisms are often engaged in such matters; the FIR summary does not state whether the woman has sought medical examination or legal aid, or whether the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act remedies are being pursued.
