Indore Congress Councillor Anwar Qadri Surrenders, Sent to 8-Day Police Remand

Police link the case to alleged Rs 3 lakh payments to recruits, with an NSA detention order already issued.

Overview

  • Qadri turned himself in at the Indore district court on 29 August after weeks on the run and was taken into custody.
  • The court granted eight days of police remand for interrogation in cases registered in June.
  • Police allege he financed a scheme to lure and convert women, a claim tied to separate rape cases involving two arrested men.
  • Interrogation accounts attributed to Sahil Sheikh and Altaf Shah say Qadri offered Rs 3 lakh as inducement for conversions.
  • Officials say he faces 18 criminal cases, with earlier steps including an NSA arrest order and property-seizure proceedings.
