Bold Heist: Sarpanch's Family Held Hostage in Armed Robbery

In a daring heist, unidentified robbers targeted the home of Manju Yadav, a village sarpanch in Madhya Pradesh, on Tuesday. The assailants held Yadav and her family at gunpoint, making off with valuables worth over one crore rupees.

According to the husband's statement, Rajkumar Yadav, associated with the BJP, some of the robbers stood guard outside, preventing any calls for help. The intruders tied up the family and escaped with substantial loot, including cash intended for land registration.

The Morena police swiftly acted, apprehending one suspect and conducting raids on relatives linked to the crime. Authorities, led by Superintendent of Police Sameer Saurabh, are determined to resolve the case promptly.
