Police Arrest Four, Rescue Kidnapped Man In Jhabua

Jhabua (Madhya Pradesh): Ranapur police on Friday arrested four people accused of kidnapping a 42-year-old man and rescued the victim after recovering the ransom money.

According to police, the case stemmed from a motorcycle collision in Ban village a year ago that killed a member of the accused group.

Dissatisfied with a settlement reached by a local Bhil Panchayat, the suspects allegedly abducted Sohan Bamniya to extort money.

Police registered a case and launched an investigation. Jhabua SP Devendra Patidar directed immediate action, while Station In-charge Dinesh Rawat formed a special team.

Acting on a tip-off, police laid a trap at the designated drop-off point. After the suspects allegedly accepted Rs 5 lakh as ransom and released Bamniya, the team raided the site, rescued him and recovered the cash.

Police arrested Dinesh Dawar, Goba Dawar, Apsingh Dawar and Rou Dawar and produced them before a Jhabua court.
