Overview

  • Qadri turned himself in before an Indore district court on 29 August and was remanded to police for questioning, according to officials.
  • The case stems from June arrests of Sahil Sheikh and Altaf Shah, whose statements and a video alleged Qadri offered roughly ₹3 lakh to lure and convert women, alongside rape and trafficking allegations.
  • Police had announced a ₹40,000 reward, pursued property attachment, and said Qadri altered his appearance while evading arrest for over two months.
  • During interrogation, police said Qadri reported staying in Kathmandu with his second wife while on the run and receiving help from his daughter, including hotel payments and communications via a Nepal SIM.
  • Investigators are examining suspected financial links and prior records, with police citing 18 earlier cases against Qadri and appealing for additional information from potential victims.
