Married Woman Rapes Minor Boy in Chhattisgarh
In Kawardha, Chhattisgarh, a married 25-year-old woman raped a 16-year-old boy after meeting him on Instagram.
According to recent National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data, India reports an average of approximately 86 to 90 rape cases daily. Almost all of these cases are against women.
But recently, in Kawardha, Chhattisgarh, there was an opposite situation.
A married woman named 25-year-old Khyati Vishwakarma, raped a 16-year-old boy after meeting him on Instagram.
Khyati had a love marriage a while back. But she had been communicating with the minor boy even before the wedding. The woman and the boy first connected on Instagram.
At first, it was just regular chatting, and over time, the conversations became more frequent; they started meeting in person as well. The woman slowly gained the boy's trust and got him emotionally dependent on her.
Then on 1 April 2026, Khyati called the boy to a hotel on Bhoramdeo Road in Kawardha.
Once he was at the hotel, she used emotional pressure to rape him. Afterwards, instead of letting him go quietly, she threatened him and warned him to keep his mouth shut.
The boy was scared, and so he said nothing for the next 2 days and was in a state of severe mental trauma.
Two days after the incident, the boy finally gathered enough courage to speak up. He first told his family what had happened, and they took him to City Kotwali police station in Kabirdham. He filed his complaint there.
Once the complaint came in, Kabirdham Superintendent of Police, Dharmendra Singh, ordered a detailed preliminary investigation right away.
The police registered a formal case under Section 4 of the POCSO Act. This carries a minimum prison sentence of 10 years.
Khyati Vishwakarma was arrested shortly after the case was registered. She was produced before a court, and sent to jail on judicial remand.
The police are now going through hotel records, social media chat history, digital evidence, and other technical details to build a complete picture. Investigators are also checking whether anyone else may have been involved.
