Police in Madhya Pradesh's Raisen district are facing mounting public pressure as they search for Salman, a 23-year-old accused of raping a 6-year-old girl. Despite deploying over 300 officers and surveillance technology, the suspect remains at large more than 144 hours after the crime, even being spotted twice near the crime scene. The case has triggered community tensions and prompted action from the Chief Minister against local police leadership.
