Indore Congress Councillor Anwar Qadri Surrenders, Remanded to 8 Days’ Police Custody

The Indore court granted police remand after a months-long manhunt under escalating administrative pressure.

Overview

  • He turned himself in on August 29 a day before police were set to seize his properties, following a Rs 40,000 reward and sustained raids.
  • Police say he is accused of financing an alleged scheme to lure, assault, and convert women, with payments cited at about Rs 3 lakh per case.
  • Two arrested men, Sahil Sheikh and Altaf Shah, named him in a June video and interrogation; both face separate rape and related charges.
  • Searches spanned Indore and Delhi, his daughter was earlier arrested for allegedly aiding his evasion, and officers are examining records and videos.
  • Authorities had pursued an NSA arrest order and a move to disqualify him from the municipal council, and a crowd tried to rush him at court before police intervened.
