Instagram Affair Fuels Kidnapping, "The Price of Rejection, Paid by Husband"
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): In Bhopal, the police have successfully solved the kidnapping of a man and arrested five individuals involved in the crime. The mastermind behind the kidnapping motivated by his obsession with an Instagram friend resorted to abducting her husband when she refused to leave her spouse.
The incident unfolded on December 6 when Kolar police were alerted that a man had been kidnapped from Sarvadharma Colony and taken away in a car. Upon investigating nearby CCTV footage authorities saw the victim being driven away in a white Ertiga car MP 07 ZM 5735. Tracing the vehicle's registration police discovered it was registered in Rajgarh district.
A team from Kolar police along with the Rajgarh SP was promptly sent to Biaora, and a joint operation with the Biaora Rural Police Station was launched. Blockades were set up in Biaora and Rajasthan’s border areas in an effort to locate the suspects. The pressure from the police led to the release of the kidnapped man, Hemraj, who was abandoned near the Biaora bus stand that evening.
The following day December 7 the police intercepted the Ertiga car used in the crime arresting driver Brijmohan Lodha and accomplice Satish Sondhiya. When questioned, they revealed that under the orders of Satya Gurjar they along with others—Ravi, Arun Sen, Ghanshyam Lodhi, and Rahul Gurjar—had traveled to Kolar in Bhopal to kidnap Hemraj. After the abduction Golu Purvia and Satya Gurjar transported Hemraj in their Swift Dzire car to a location near Rajgarh bypass. The police arrested Brijmohan Lodha and Satish Sondhiya and based on their information Golu Purvia and Satya Gurjar were later apprehended near Biaora bypass.
The investigation revealed that the accused Golu Purvia had befriended Hemraj's wife on Instagram. The two began communicating regularly but when Hemraj discovered their conversations he forbade his wife from speaking to Golu. This enraged Golu who began threatening Hemraj and his wife. Just two days before the kidnapping Golu called Hemraj's wife demanding she leave her husband and be with him or he would kidnap Hemraj. On December 6 he followed through on his threat abducting Hemraj and later calling his wife to demand she comply with his ultimatum or risk her husband's life.
