In Berasia, a contractor and his associate were abducted and assaulted under the guise of a construction site visit. The suspects stole their vehicle, forced a money transfer of Rs 50,000, and seized signed cheques from the victim. The police have filed a case against four individuals for kidnapping, assault, wrongful confinement, and robbery.
The true reason behind the incident remains unclear, but it is believed to be a result of financial disagreements, according to police. Mangesh Jaiswal, a 32-year-old contractor from Dewas, along with his associate Sonu, traveled to Bhopal on October 3 to inspect a site. Ajay Yadav, Laxminarayan, and Devraj joined them, claiming they were there to show them the construction site.
Near Imliya Swaroop village, the group allegedly assaulted both men. They forced Jaiswal to transfer money to a bank account and subsequently took them to Bhopal, where they confined them in a room. Jaiswal claims the suspects made him sign multiple cheques and took them away. He and Sonu were held captive for a day before being freed. Jaiswal reported the incident to the Berasia police station on Wednesday.
