Two kidnapping incidents spark outrage in Madhya Pradesh
Two bold kidnapping cases in Madhya Pradesh—one in Sumeri village under Lavkushnagar police station in Chhatarpur, the other in Alirajpur—have left people shaken.
In Chhatarpur, a group led by Sanjay Singh Rajput stormed a home, fired shots to scare everyone, and kidnapped Mithlesh (26) along with her two young kids, a 4-year-old son, Sarthak, and a 5-year-old daughter, Bhumi.
Her husband was badly beaten when he tried to stop them.
Chhatarpur case and Alirajpur attempt
Police have arrested five suspects so far and are still searching for Mithlesh and her children. They've seized vehicles used in the crime and announced a cash reward for leads on the main accused.
Meanwhile, in Alirajpur, after video of an attempted kidnapping of a minor girl went viral (she managed to escape), police have started investigating even though her family hadn't filed a report at first.
Both cases have put safety concerns front and center for locals.
