Overview
- Satna police registered a case and transferred the investigation to Deputy Superintendent of Police Manoj Trivedi.
- The widely shared video purportedly shows Ashok Singh dismissing the prospect of action against him; police say they are verifying its authenticity.
- In a written complaint to the Satna SP, the woman alleges Singh raped her at knifepoint about six months ago, recorded the act, and later threatened to kill her and her family.
- The complainant says he targeted her again on December 20 and used the recorded video to coerce her, while police filings reported by multiple outlets cite BNS sections on sexual harassment, obscene acts, and criminal intimidation.
- Media reports differ on custody and charges: some outlets say Singh was arrested late Saturday, while others note no official arrest confirmation and report that the FIR does not include rape.
