Anuppur resident alleges Rs 5 lakh extortion, seeks inquiry

A resident of Anuppur district in Madhya Pradesh has sought an inquiry into alleged extortion of around Rs 5 lakh, according to a report supplied by correspondent Arun Kumar Dwivedi. The resident alleges that a group threatened to implicate him in a serious case and took money, a mobile phone and a gold chain. The allegations also concern the role of police personnel. They have not been independently established.

The account says the dispute followed a social-media acquaintance. According to the complainant, a group arrived at his house and took him, his wife and children to a police station. He alleges that fear of a case, imprisonment and harm to his family's reputation was used to pressure him into paying money. The report does not establish a registered case or an official finding against anyone named in the submission.

The complainant alleges that roughly Rs 5 lakh was transferred to different accounts under pressure. The reporter's account refers to UPI and bank transactions, but the supplied photographs do not establish the payment trail or the purpose of any transfer. He also claims that his mobile phone and a gold chain weighing about 9.5 grams were taken. These remain his allegations, not findings confirmed by the publication.

A further allegation is that a settlement application was obtained after the money changed hands. Among the material supplied with the report is a photograph of a handwritten application dated October 6, 2026. It is addressed to the officer in charge of Anuppur police station and contains a request not to pursue action in an earlier personal dispute. It also refers to a mutual settlement and withdrawal of a complaint.

That photographed page is not an acknowledged extortion complaint or an FIR. No clearly visible police receipt stamp or case number establishes that the authority received it. Nor does its wording establish whether a settlement was voluntary, whether money was demanded, or whether any police personnel participated in wrongdoing. It cannot by itself prove or disprove the separate extortion allegation.

The submitted account also refers to an additional demand, but gives conflicting amounts in its heading and narrative. That figure is not being reported as established. Claims of an organised blackmail network are likewise not supported by an official finding in the supplied material.

The complainant has asked senior authorities for an impartial inquiry, recovery of the allegedly taken money and belongings, and protection for his family. The material provided for this report contains no official investigation outcome or response from the people whose conduct is questioned. Their alleged involvement should not be treated as proven.

Private individuals are not being identified in this report. The accompanying document image has personal information obscured, and the supplied portraits are not being used to imply guilt. Any further account of police action or transaction findings will require a verifiable official response or supporting record.
