In a major breakthrough, Kondagaon police arrested Firoz Ahmed from Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, in a case involving the prolonged sexual assault and confinement of a young woman from Chhattisgarh. Upon bringing him back to Kondagaon, the Makdi police revealed shocking details of the case.

According to ASP Kaushalendra Dev Patel, the accused Firoz Ahmed lured the victim into a relationship by promising marriage and then exploited her trust to establish physical relations. During this time, he secretly took explicit photos of her and threatened to post them on social media, coercing her into silence. Firoz later took the victim to Mumbai, where he kept her confined in a small room, regularly assaulting her and cutting her off from the outside world.

The victim recounted that the room had no ventilation or natural light, and the sounds of her cries were often drowned by noise from the surroundings. One day, while the accused was away for work, he left his mobile phone behind. Seizing the opportunity, the woman managed to contact the factory owner where Firoz worked, explaining her ordeal and pleading for help. The factory owner, along with others, immediately arrived at the location, freed her, and urged her to escape.

With her child, the victim managed to reach the railway station and made her way back to Kondagaon. Upon reaching home, she narrated the entire incident to her family, who then informed the police.

Following her complaint, the police launched a search operation, eventually locating Firoz Ahmed, also known as Shahroz, in Amethi. Upon his arrest, he confessed to the crime and was brought back to Kondagaon on a transit remand. He was presented before a court in Sultanpur and will now be sent to jail under judicial custody.

This arrest highlights the coordinated efforts of the Kondagaon police and the swift action taken to bring justice to the victim.
