'Dark shadow' over Christmas as BJP leader Anju Bhargav caught assaulting visually impaired woman in Jabalpur

In this prime time report, India Today Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai highlights a disturbing incident from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, ahead of Christmas. The top story focuses on a viral video showing BJP district vice president Anju Bhargav allegedly abusing and assaulting Safalta Karthik, a visually impaired woman, at a church event. While Bhargav’s group claimed the event was for forced religious conversion, both the victim and the church administration have denied the allegations, stating it was a charitable gathering for differently-abled children. Sardesai questions the 'vilification of a minority within a minority' and criticizes the police inaction. The report also features testimonies from the victims and a young boy who calls for humanity over religious division.
