In a shocking incident, a 30-year-old tribal woman was gangraped by at least 10 persons, including her estranged husband, all in an inebriated condition, paraded naked and even forced to drink urine at a village in Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa district.



A few months ago, the woman and her husband had a dispute over a piece of land, following which he allegedly attacked her with an axe.



The woman registered a complaint with the police and then moved into her parents' house in another village along with her 10-year-old son.



On Tuesday night, the woman's husband allegedly asked her to meet him in their village to reach a "compromise" in the axe attack case.



When the woman and her son reached their husband's village, they were allegedly tied up and locked in a store room by the husband and nine other men.



The woman was then allegedly thrashed and gang-raped.



The victim narrated the ordeal to their parents and thereafter petitioned the police, who swung into action and arrested nine people in this connection. Further investigations are on, police said.



Madhya Pradesh has witnessed a spurt in rape cases, with the state recording 4335 rape cases in 2013, according to state crime control board's figures.



The highest number of 3425 rape cases was reported in the state in 2012, according to figures of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).



In the first quarter of this year, MP has registered 1078 rape and 2455 molestation cases.
