In the 135th episode of Mann Ki Baat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the women of Biaora in Madhya Pradesh’s Rajgarh district for turning plastic waste into a tool for beautifying the town.

The Prime Minister said most people want their surroundings to be clean and attractive, but many assume that cleaning is someone else’s responsibility. He highlighted how these women took ownership of the problem instead of waiting for others to act.

According to the Prime Minister, the women began collecting plastic waste and empty bottles from across the town on their own initiative. Over time, they started converting the waste into eco-bricks, which are now being used to improve public spaces and add beauty to the town.

Modi said that in the past few months, hundreds of kilograms of plastic have been recycled in Rajgarh and put to productive use. He noted that what once caused pollution is now helping enhance the visual appeal of the city.

He congratulated the women of Biaora and everyone associated with the campaign, calling it an inspiring example of community-driven environmental action.

In a major administrative shake-up, the Home Department of Madhya Pradesh issued transfer and posting orders for 65 state police service (SPS) officers on Saturday night. The reshuffle primarily targets Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) and City Police Superintendents (CSPs) across major urban zones, alongside a heavy security reinforcement in the Naxal-affected Balaghat region.

According to the official directive released by the Police Headquarters (PHQ), key City Superintendant of Police (CSP) positions have been overhauled in tier-1 and tier-2 urban clusters, including Gwalior, Jabalpur, Ujjain, and Pithampur. Additionally, equivalent urban-cadre postings have been reshuffled across the metropolitan layouts of Bhopal and Indore.

Heavy Security Reinforcement in Balaghat

A major highlight of this administrative layout is the strategic deployment of 18 DSP-level officers into the specialized anti-Naxal unit, the Hawk Force, headquartered in Balaghat. These officers will assume operational charges as Assistant Commandants (सहायक सेनानी).

Hawk Force Deployment Roster (Assistant Commandants):

├── Core Tactical Team: Udit Mishra, Abhilash Kumar Bhalavi, Akash Amalkar

├── Operational Units: Ravi Soner, Umesh Prajapati, Ritesh Kumar Shiv

├── Field Leadership : Ravindra Singh Rathi, Ayush Kumar Alawa, Sachin Patel

└── Special Wings    : Kundan Mandlooi, Rahul Kumar Sayyam, Akshay Choudhary, 

                       Atul Kumar Soni, Aman Mishra, Rohit Rathore, Rakesh Arya

Alongside the specialized anti-guerilla combat wing postings, the state government has plugged crucial structural vacancies in the sub-divisional police architecture of Balaghat by appointing 4 new Sub-Divisional Officers of Police (SDOPs).

Sub-Divisional Policing Realignment (Balaghat):

├── Deepak Tomar       : SDOP Lanji (Balaghat)

├── Chandrashekhar Pande: SDOP Baihar (Balaghat)

└── Abhishek Gautam    : SDOP Paraswada (Balaghat)

The extensive restructuring is viewed by political circles as a tactical consolidation phase to enhance urban policing efficiency while ensuring experienced boots on the ground along the vulnerable interstate forest corridors.

A missing person case in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior has taken an unexpected turn after a girl, initially reported by her family as a 19-year-old adult, was found to be a minor following her recovery from Noida. Verification of official documents revealed that the girl is only 17 years old, leading to the exposure of an alleged child marriage and prompting the High Court to order legal action against those responsible.

The incident pertains to the Bahodapur police station area, where the girl's father lodged a missing person complaint on June 12, claiming that his 19-year-old daughter had disappeared from their residence in Sagartal Phase-2. Based on the complaint, police registered a missing report and launched a search operation.

Using surveillance inputs and technical evidence, the police traced the girl to Gautam Buddha Nagar (Noida) in Uttar Pradesh. She was found in the company of a local youth identified as Kishan Khatik, a resident of Bahodapur. The accused was taken into custody and brought back to Gwalior along with the girl.

The case witnessed a major development during court proceedings when authorities verified the girl's educational records and birth certificate. The documents established that she was only 17 years old, making her a minor under the law. This revelation significantly altered the legal nature of the investigation.

During counselling, the girl reportedly told authorities that her father had arranged her marriage against her wishes while she was still underage. She further stated that she did not want to live with her husband or in-laws, which led her to leave home with her neighbour, Kishan Khatik.

Earlier, the girl's father had approached the High Court by filing a habeas corpus petition, alleging police negligence in tracing his daughter. However, after the girl's recovery and the disclosure regarding her age and alleged child marriage, the court directed Bahodapur police to register an FIR against all those involved in solemnising the child marriage within 15 days.

Police have already registered a case against Kishan Khatik under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. He was produced before a court and has been sent to judicial custody.

Meanwhile, investigators have widened the scope of the probe. The girl's parents, her alleged husband, in-laws and any other individuals involved in facilitating or conducting the child marriage are now under investigation. Separate criminal proceedings are expected under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act.

Bahodapur Station House Officer Alok Parihar confirmed that the recovered girl was found to be a minor based on official documents. He said the investigation had established evidence of child marriage and that further legal action would be taken in compliance with the High Court's directions.

The case has once again highlighted concerns over child marriage and the importance of age verification during police investigations. Authorities are expected to complete the investigation and initiate action against all those found responsible under the relevant provisions of law.

Tension erupted in Ujanihai Tola under Garh police station area after a woman died in suspicious circumstances following an alleged family dispute that started over a dog.

Mamta Tiwari, wife of Ramesh Tiwari, was rushed to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital on the night of June 27 in critical condition. She succumbed during treatment. Her family has accused relatives Rinku Tiwari, Neelu Tiwari, and Neelam Tiwari of assaulting her and administering poison.

According to Mamta’s son Arjun Tiwari, the dispute began when a row broke out over a dog between the two sides of the family. What started as an argument soon turned violent. The family alleged that the accused beat Mamta and forced her to consume poison, leading to her deteriorating health.

A video of Mamta recorded before her death has surfaced. In it, she is seen accusing Rinku, Neelu, and Neelam of assaulting her. Police are treating the video as an important piece of evidence in the investigation.

This was not the first clash between the families. On June 2, Mamta had filed a complaint at Garh police station mentioning the ongoing dispute over the dog along with old enmity and land-related issues. The complaint suggests long-standing tension between the two families.

Garh police have registered a case based on the family’s complaint and launched an investigation. Officers said the exact cause of death will only be clear after the postmortem report. They are examining the video statement, the previous complaint, and other evidence.

Senior officers are supervising the case. Further details are awaited as the probe continues.

Such family disputes turning fatal have been reported occasionally in the region. Police said they are working to establish the full sequence of events and will take strict action based on findings.

The incident has left the local community shocked. For now, the focus remains on the postmortem and detailed investigation to uncover the truth behind Mamta Tiwari’s death.

A new development has emerged in the assault case involving the son of Congress MLA Dinesh Gurjar outside the MLA Rest House in Bhopal. The mother of one of the accused, Lucky Yadav, has approached the city's Police Commissioner, alleging that her sons were assaulted not only during the incident but also inside the police station in the presence of police personnel.

The complaint has prompted Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar to order an inquiry into the allegations. He stated that if the accusations are found to be true, appropriate legal action will also be taken against the other side.

The incident occurred outside the MLA Rest House in the Arera Hills area and initially led to a case being registered on the complaint of Deoraj Singh Gurjar, son of Congress MLA Dinesh Gurjar. Police had booked the accused under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) following his complaint.

However, the accused's family has now questioned the police investigation, claiming their version of events was ignored.

According to the complaint submitted to the Police Commissioner, Lucky Yadav's mother alleged that Deoraj Gurjar and his associates first assaulted her sons near the MLA Rest House. She further claimed that after they were taken to Arera Hills police station, they were again beaten inside the premises while police personnel allegedly failed to intervene.

She alleged that one of her sons was severely injured during the incident and had to be admitted to hospital. The complaint further states that despite visible injuries on both sons, police allegedly did not register their complaint because of pressure from influential individuals.

Seeking a fair investigation, she requested action against those allegedly responsible for assaulting her sons.

Taking note of the allegations, Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar directed officials to conduct an impartial inquiry. He said that if the investigation establishes the allegations made by the accused's family, legal action would also be initiated against Deoraj Gurjar and others involved, in accordance with the law.

Meanwhile, Deoraj Singh Gurjar has reiterated his earlier version of the incident.

According to Deoraj, the incident took place around 12:30 am on June 24 while he was walking on the balcony of his residence at the MLA Rest House in Malviya Nagar. He alleged that four men were consuming alcohol outside the premises. When he asked them to leave, they allegedly began abusing him verbally.

He further claimed that the four men entered the staircase leading to the residence and demanded money to purchase more alcohol. When he refused, they allegedly assaulted him and attempted to snatch his belongings.

Deoraj said his friends, identified as Harsh, Maan, and Saurabh Bakoria, rushed to the spot after hearing the commotion and intervened to rescue him. He alleged that the accused left after issuing threats and identifying themselves as Vicky, Pankaj, Mayank, and Soh, warning him to "remember their names."

Following the incident, Deoraj underwent a medical examination at JP Hospital before lodging a complaint at Arera Hills police station, based on which an FIR was registered against the accused.

With both sides now making serious allegations against each other, the police inquiry is expected to determine the sequence of events and examine whether any misconduct occurred during police custody.

Officials have maintained that the investigation will consider evidence and statements from all parties before any further legal action is taken.

Senior Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh launched a scathing attack on the Central government, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Saturday over alleged financial irregularities and donation theft at the Ram Mandir Trust. Speaking at a press conference in Ujjain, Singh labeled the trust's General Secretary, Champat Rai, as "corrupt" and demanded the immediate registration of an FIR against him.

Singh argued that since the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust was directly constituted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the ultimate accountability for any financial discrepancy rests with the Prime Minister's Office.

Massive Awareness Campaign Across 609 Panchayats

The veteran leader announced that the Congress party will not let the issue slide and is planning a massive rural outreach campaign to take the allegations to the grassroots level.

Congress Rural Outreach Blueprint (Ujjain District):

├── Target Jurisdiction: 609 Gram Panchayats

├── Operational Units : Specialized sector and mandal-level committees

└── Core Strategy     : Door-to-door distribution of descriptive leaflets

"Congress has formed dedicated committees across all 609 panchayats in the Ujjain district. Our workers will go door-to-door to inform common citizens and Sanatana believers about how the institutional donations meant for Lord Ram's temple were siphoned off," Singh stated.

Serious Allegations Over Gold, Silver, and Foreign Funding

Digvijaya Singh questioned Champat Rai’s credentials and association with religious affairs, alleging that structural auditing has exposed severe mismanagement regarding high-value donations.

"Who is Champat Rai? He hails from Uttar Pradesh and has no inherent background in theology or religious administration. He was an RSS pracharak who was later absorbed by the VHP. The public display of simplicity is a facade. Massive discrepancies have been detected in the accounting of donated silver bricks, jewelry, cash, and foreign contributions," Singh alleged.

He further leveled criticism at the temple's Pran Pratishtha (consecration) ceremony held in Ayodhya, claiming that established Vedic traditions were openly violated. According to Singh, scriptural norms dictate that congregational rituals must be performed by a married couple (sapatneek), whereas individuals not meeting the criteria were permitted to sit for the core rituals.

"RSS Grabbing Mahakal Temple Land," Claims Singh

Turning his focus to local governance, Singh accused the RSS of encroaching upon prime land belonging to the historic Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain. He stated that his opposition dates back to the tenure of former BJP Chief Minister Sunder Lal Patwa, who allegedly allotted temple land to an RSS-affiliated wing.

Singh claimed that he had legally challenged the land transfer in court at the time, adding that the organization has built commercial guest houses on temple properties while marginalizing traditional seers and sadhus. "The current administrative ecosystem is so heavily politicized that common devotees cannot even access the premium Bhasma Aarti slots without recommendation letters from the Bajrang Dal," he alleged.

Warning Issued to CM Mohan Yadav Over Land Scams

During the press briefing, the former Chief Minister waved several files and official land registry documents before reporters. While refusing to prematurely disclose individual names, Singh stated that he has received a fresh batch of incriminating documents following recent investigative media reports on local land scams.

Shifting focus to current Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, Singh offered sharp political counsel to the Ujjain-native CM.

"The Chief Minister has hoarded an excessive number of portfolios. Bureaucrats and subordinate officers will commit irregularities under his watch, but the constitutional accountability will fall squarely on him. Do not let this happen, because as an active opposition, we are not going to spare you on the floor of the house," Singh warned.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav on Saturday said preparations for Simhastha-2028 must be planned on a scale that can handle nearly 40 crore devotees, calling the event the world’s biggest religious gathering and urging coordination with neighbouring states to manage the expected rush.

The chief minister was speaking at a one-day workshop on “Simhastha-2016 ka Sankalp, Simhastha-2028 ka Sankalp” after arriving in Ujjain around 11.25 am by helicopter. He inaugurated the session at Anjushree Hotel, where officials reviewed infrastructure plans, departmental responsibilities and lessons from the 2016 Simhastha.

Senior officials who were posted in Ujjain during the 2016 event shared their experiences and discussed the logistical challenges that may arise in 2028. Ujjain Divisional Commissioner Ashish Singh made a presentation on the ongoing preparations. Officers from across the state attended the workshop.

Yadav said the last Simhastha had faced traffic bottlenecks in several places and that similar problems must not be repeated. He said the administration should prepare in advance for movement along not just Ujjain’s main routes, but also the wider network connecting the city with nearby districts and states.

“Simhastha-2028 will be the world’s largest mela. If 40 crore devotees are expected, arrangements must be ready at that scale,” the chief minister said, according to officials present at the programme. He added that coordination with neighbouring states would be essential so that pilgrims coming from border areas do not face avoidable disruption.

The chief minister also said that Ujjain is not just a city for a holy dip in the Shipra, but a place where devotees will visit multiple religious sites. For that reason, the state is aiming to restore and upgrade temples across the city and surrounding areas. He said the government has taken up the renovation of all major temples as part of the broader spiritual and civic planning.

Yadav noted that several transport facilities have improved since the 2016 event. He pointed out that the Fatehabad railway track was not operational at the time, but is now available. According to him, road widening has also been carried out on routes that earlier caused congestion.

A major part of the discussion focused on accommodation and movement. The chief minister said government arrangements should be strong enough that pilgrims do not have to depend only on private hotels or buildings. He also said facilities at dhabas and hotels along routes up to 100 km from Ujjain will need to be strengthened to absorb the expected traffic and footfall.

Officials said the workshop was meant to align departments well before the massive religious gathering, which is expected to involve not just crowd management but sanitation, transport, health, security and emergency response systems. The focus, they said, is on avoiding the kind of pressure points seen during earlier editions of the event.

The administration is now expected to move from planning to phased execution, with district and divisional teams preparing detailed action points. The chief minister said the goal is to make Simhastha-2028 “better and historic” with collective effort and coordination across agencies and neighbouring states.

Frustration over frequent unannounced power cuts boiled over in parts of Rewa district late Saturday night as villagers blocked the National Highway, bringing traffic to a complete standstill for more than four hours.

Residents from areas under Saman and Raipur Karchuliyan police stations sat on the road near Ratara bypass, halting movement in both directions. Hundreds of trucks, buses, cars and other vehicles were stuck in long queues stretching several kilometres, leaving passengers and drivers stranded in the middle of the night.

The blockade began around midnight when a large group of villagers, tired of prolonged power outages amid scorching heat and humidity, decided to take to the streets. Locals complained that despite repeated complaints to the electricity department, there has been no improvement in supply. Many said hours-long blackouts were making daily life miserable.

Police and administration officials rushed to the spot soon after receiving information. They engaged with the protesting villagers, trying to persuade them to clear the road. After prolonged discussions, the protesters finally agreed to lift the blockade. Traffic movement resumed slowly in the early hours.

Raipur Karchuliyan police station in-charge Rajkumar Tiwari confirmed that villagers resorted to the highway blockade due to electricity problems. He referred further details to Saman police station in-charge Vijay Singh, who declined to comment when contacted.

The electricity department has so far maintained silence on the issue, which has only added to the anger among residents. No official statement has come from the department regarding the frequent power cuts or steps being taken to improve the situation.

This is not the first time villagers in the area have taken to the streets over electricity issues. Earlier too, residents of Ajgarha village under Saman police station had blocked the highway demanding better power supply. Such repeated protests are raising serious questions about the power infrastructure and management in the region.

With summer temperatures still high, the power crisis is affecting both rural households and daily economic activities. Farmers, small shopkeepers and students are among the worst hit. Many fear that if the situation does not improve soon, more such agitations could erupt in other parts of the district.

Local leaders and public representatives are also coming under pressure to take up the matter with higher authorities. For now, the focus remains on restoring normalcy and ensuring that such long outages do not recur.

Further details on the power department’s response and any concrete steps to address the grievance are still awaited. The incident once again highlights the growing impatience among people over basic civic issues in smaller districts of Madhya Pradesh.

The incident, captured on video, shows a traffic constable being struck while trying to intervene between two warring parties.

A routine Thursday afternoon took a violent turn in Rewa's Dhobiya Tanki area when a drunk auto driver rammed his vehicle into two bike riders, triggering a chain of events that saw the driver being beaten by an angry mob and a traffic police constable being slapped in the process.

The accident occurred under the City Kotwali police station limits. According to eyewitnesses, the auto driver, who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, was speeding when he hit the two bikers. What followed was chaos.

Instead of the situation calming down, the auto driver became aggressive and began arguing with the bike riders. The argument quickly escalated into a physical confrontation in the middle of the road.

Mob Takes Matters Into Its Own Hands

Local residents and passersby, angered by the driver's behaviour, surrounded him. Within moments, the crowd turned hostile and began thrashing the driver with kicks and punches. The mob quickly grew in size, and the situation remained tense for several minutes.

A video of the incident has surfaced, showing the crowd gathered on the road and the scuffle unfolding. The footage clearly shows the traffic constable being struck while attempting to intervene.

Traffic police personnel who reached the spot tried to bring the situation under control. As the constable stepped in to mediate, he was slapped by one of the parties involved in the fight, according to sources.

Police Investigation Underway

Officials said a police team arrived at the scene after receiving information about the incident and managed to bring the situation under control.

Police are currently working to identify both parties involved in the altercation. Officials said action will be taken based on complaints and evidence gathered during the investigation.

"It was a chaotic scene. The auto driver was visibly drunk and aggressive. People were furious," said a local shopkeeper who witnessed the incident.

Why This Incident Matters

The Rewa road rage incident highlights a growing concern across urban India — the combination of drunk driving, road accidents, and public anger leading to mob violence. While the mob's frustration is understandable, authorities have repeatedly warned against taking the law into one's own hands.

This is not the first such incident in the city. Similar cases of road rage and public violence have been reported from various parts of Madhya Pradesh in recent months.

Police officials have urged the public to report such incidents to authorities rather than resorting to violence. Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.

In a shocking incident, two minor cousin sisters from the Laur area of Rewa district consumed poisonous substance together, leaving their families devastated and authorities probing the matter.

The girls, both aged 15, were rushed to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital on Thursday morning after their condition deteriorated rapidly. Doctors later shifted them to the ICU at the medical college for intensive care, where a team of doctors is closely monitoring them. Their condition is reported to be serious.

The incident has been registered as a medico-legal case (MLC). Police have been informed and have begun preliminary inquiries.

According to family members, the two girls suddenly fell ill after consuming the poisonous substance. They were immediately brought to the hospital, but the exact reason behind their extreme step is not yet known. “We have no idea why they did this,” relatives told police. Both girls are currently unable to speak, making it difficult to understand what triggered the incident.

Police said they are questioning family members and gathering more details from the locality. “We will know the full circumstances only after proper investigation and once the girls are able to give their statements,” an officer said.

The Laur area falls under the jurisdiction of the local police station, which has taken cognisance of the case. So far, no suicide note or specific cause has come to light. Officers are exploring possibilities of academic pressure, personal issues, or any family-related problems, though nothing has been confirmed yet.

Incidents of minors taking such desperate steps have been reported occasionally in the region, often linked to silent mental health struggles or sudden emotional distress. However, both girls attempting it together has left the local community stunned.

Doctors have not yet revealed the exact nature of the poisonous substance, but treatment is focused on stabilising the girls. Their condition remains critical, and further updates will depend on how they respond to treatment in the next few hours.

The district administration and child welfare officials have also been alerted. Police said the investigation is ongoing and more details are awaited once the girls regain consciousness or family members provide additional information.

This case has once again highlighted the need for better mental health awareness and support systems for adolescents in smaller towns and rural areas of Madhya Pradesh.

A shocking case of vigilante justice has emerged from Kharparas village in Rajgarh district, where a young man accused of robbing an elderly woman was tied up, brutally assaulted, and branded with a red-hot iron wire by villagers.

The incident, which took place on Wednesday morning, came to light after mobile clips of the torture were widely circulated on social media. Taking swift cognizance of the video evidence, the Kalipith police have registered an FIR against several villagers under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

Midnight Robbery Targets 90-Year-Old Woman

According to police sources, the sequence of events began late Tuesday night around 11:00 PM. The suspect, identified as Govind Verma, allegedly broke into the residence of Jatan Bai Sondhiya, a 90-year-old woman who was sleeping alone at the time.

Verma reportedly managed to unfasten a pair of heavy silver anklets (payal) from the elderly woman's feet. However, as he attempted to aggressively pull off her silver bangles, the victim woke up and raised an alarm. Startled by her screams, the suspect fled into the darkness before neighbors could gather.

Brutal Retaliation Captured on Camera

The news of the midnight burglary spread rapidly across Kharparas village by early Wednesday morning. Forming search parties, local residents managed to track down Verma in the vicinity and brought him back to the village square.

The situation escalated into extreme violence as a mob gathered. Verma's hands were bound with ropes as villagers took turns thrashing him.

The viral footage shows a young local woman emerging from a house carrying a heavily heated iron wire, which she used to repeatedly brand the suspect's leg as he writhed and screamed in agony.

Later, the crowd tied Verma to the chassis of a tractor-trolley for prolonged interrogation before finally handing him over to a police team.

Cross-FIRs Registered; Investigation Escalated to SDOP Level

The police have taken action against both sides involved in the conflict. Based on the initial complaint lodged by the elderly victim, a robbery and house-trespass case was registered against Govind Verma. Investigators have successfully recovered the stolen silver anklets from his possession.

However, subsequent verification revealed that Verma belongs to a Scheduled Caste community. Following the emergence of the torture videos, police registered a cross-case against the vigilante mob.

Legal Action Matrix:

├── Against Suspect (Govind Verma): House-trespass & Robbery charges; silver recovery complete.

└── Against Mob (Devraj, Lakhan & 2 others): SC-ST Act invocation, unlawful confinement, & causing grievous hurt.

"We have booked four residents, including individuals named Devraj and Lakhan, under the SC-ST Act and sections pertaining to assault. Given the sensitive nature of the case and the caste-based angles involved, the investigation has been officially handed over to an officer of the Sub-Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP) rank," stated Jitendra Ajnare, Kalipith Town Inspector.

Forensic teams are currently verifying the authenticity of the video logs to identify other bystanders who actively participated in or abetted the illegal confinement and branding. Police added that further statements are being recorded, and arrests will follow shortly.

In a dramatic turn of events, a 3-minute-20-second confession video has emerged of Rahul Mishra, the prime accused who allegedly fired 16 rounds at a local resident's house in Azad Nagar on Sunday night. Speaking from an undisclosed location three days after the incident, Mishra claimed he was driven to pick up the gun by a predatory loan shark and police apathy.

Defying the Morena police administration, the accused demanded that authorities shoot him in an encounter rather than harass his elderly parents, who he claims have nothing to do with the shooting.

Forced Car Agreement Despite Settling Debt

According to Mishra's video statement, the conflict traces back to a financial transaction with the victim, Suraj Yadav alias Sonu. Mishra claimed he had borrowed a sum of money from Yadav and repaid the principal along with a mutually agreed 2% interest. However, Yadav allegedly began extorting him, demanding an exorbitant 20% interest rate instead.

Mishra alleged that when he refused to comply with the inflated demands, Yadav assaulted him and forcibly extracted a legal agreement for his personal car.

"I went to the Station Road police station to lodge a formal complaint against this extortion, but the local police refused to take any action against him," Mishra alleged in the video.

Car Snatched by Musclemen on Highway

Detailing the immediate trigger behind Sunday's brazen shooting, Mishra said he tried navigating formal channels and even approached the Superintendent of Police during a public grievance hearing (Jansunwai).

"Sonu Yadav openly mocked me, saying they have immense wealth and power, and that the police would never listen to a person like me. I even have the acknowledgment receipt from the SP office complaint," Mishra said.

The breaking point arrived on the night of June 22 near the Ganeshpura bridge. Mishra alleged that Yadav, accompanied by 10 to 15 musclemen, intercepted his vehicle, assaulted him, and drove away with his car.

"I called Dial 100 repeatedly, but no police unit arrived for 20 minutes. It became crystal clear to me that the local police were hand-in-glove with the loan shark. Left with no avenue for justice, I took matters into my own hands at 10:55 PM that night," the accused stated.

16 Rounds in 2 Minutes: The Firing Incident

The incident unfolded on Sunday night when four masked miscreants riding two motorcycles pulled up outside Yadav’s residence in Azad Nagar. CCTV footage from the location showed the riders intentionally ramming a motorcycle into the main gate before pulling out firearms.

Within a span of two minutes, the attackers unleashed a volley of 16 bullets directly at the house before speeding away from the spot. Following the incident, the Kotwali police registered an FIR naming Rahul Mishra along with three unidentified associates.

Timeline of Events (As per Accused Statement):

├── June 22, 09:30 PM : Car forcibly snatched by loan shark near Ganeshpura

├── June 22, 09:50 PM : No response from Dial 100 units

└── June 22, 10:55 PM : Retaliatory 16-round firing at Sonu Yadav's residence

Station Road Police Deny Knowledge of Complaint

The viral video has triggered a massive bureaucratic stir within the district police hierarchy. Responding to allegations of systemic bias and inaction, current Station Road Town Inspector (TI) Sanjay Baraiya shifted the accountability to previous desk officers.

"The complaint application mentioned by the accused was submitted during the tenure of the former TI, Kuldeep Rajput. This specific grievance never came across my desk. Had the matter been brought to my attention, strict legal recourse would have been initiated immediately," Baraiya stated.

Meanwhile, Mishra has warned that if any harm comes to him or the loan shark, the Morena district administration will be solely responsible, reiterating that he is prepared to end his own life if his vehicle is not recovered and an FIR is not filed against Yadav for assault. Search operations to track down Mishra and his three accomplices are currently underway.
