Chitrakoot Devangana Valley Gang-Rape Case Details

On July 22, 2026, a horrific incident occurred near Devangana Valley in the Chitrakoot district of Uttar Pradesh, where a 20-year-old NEET aspirant from Satna, Madhya Pradesh, was gang-raped. The student was visiting the scenic spot with her 17-year-old friend when three men on a motorcycle approached them, posing as forest officials. The assailants brutally assaulted the male companion with a belt, tied his hands and legs, and held him captive while dragging the victim into nearby bushes to commit the crime before fleeing the scene.

Following the assault, the victim's companion managed to untie himself and reach a nearby area with mobile coverage to contact the police via helpline 112. Law enforcement launched an intensive investigation, analysing over 370 CCTV footage feeds and tracking thousands of phone records. Within days, the Special Operations Group (SOG) and local police identified the suspects; main accused Jitendra Patel (alias Bhola) was arrested after being shot in the leg during a fierce gunfight with police in the Madtha forest, while the remaining two accomplices, Vivek Patel and Pravin Patel, were subsequently apprehended.
