Guna district violent crime incidents

Overview

In mid‑July 2026 a video of two girls violently beating a man outside Shastri Park in Guna went viral, prompting a police investigation based on the footage. The incident highlighted concerns about disorder around the park, which is known for frequent gatherings of homeless individuals.

A week later, on the night of July 30, a separate attack occurred on a young couple near Gader village in Guna district. The pair were forced into a forest, robbed, and the woman faced an attempted gang‑rape. Police responded quickly after a passerby called emergency services, recovered the stolen items and arrested five suspects from the Banjara community within 24 hours, while continuing the search for the remaining two.

Together, the two events illustrate a pattern of violent crime in Guna district and the authorities’ escalating response, moving from a video‑based probe to swift arrests and ongoing investigations.
