The 36-year-old woman was assaulted last Tuesday in the Mahasamund district, some 75 km from state capital Raipur.

The police say the woman was taken away from behind her house on Tuesday night. She was with her sister when the accused men, Devendra, Farid Ali and Prince Saluja allegedly drove up and forced her into their car.

The three allegedly raped the woman and also filmed her, threatening to post the clip online if she went to the police.

The woman complained to the police the next day. All three have been arrested and charged with gang-rape and criminal intimidation.

"The incident shows depraved mentality. The punishment for such people should be an example," said Chief Minister Raman Singh, who heads the state's BJP government.

Prince Saluja, whose father once held a BJP post at the sub-district level, was missing for hours until he was caught today. In various photos that have surfaced in the media, Prince is seen pointing at his SUV or holding a rifle.

Pls dont link this issue to BJP as it has nothing to do with it. Crime done by the son of Leader is his own decision. BJP is free from all types of crimes/ goondagiri etc.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
