Bounty For Anwar Qadri's Arrest Raised To ₹40K In MP's Indore

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): City police have raised the bounty on absconding Congress corporator Anwar Qadri to Rs 40k in the alleged love-jihad funding case, police said on Thursday.

Notices have been pasted at his home and other locations, ordering him to appear in court by September 8 or face more legal action. Additional DCP (crime) Rajesh Dandotiya confirmed that Additional CP (law and order) Amit Singh has increased the bounty amount to Rs 40k on Qadri’s arrest. Police are raiding possible hideouts and checking Qadri’s finances, assets and contacts.

They suspect that his fish farming business was just an excuse, with suspicious transactions worth lakhs already identified. More names are likely to come up in the investigation.

Police have appealed to the public for help, assuring that anyone giving credible information will remain anonymous.

Meanwhile, BJP corporator Manish Sharma ‘Mama,’ has announced a private reward of Rs 2 lakh to anyone providing information about Qadri’s whereabouts. He called the case a threat to social harmony and urged people to share leads that could expose a bigger network.

Qadri has been missing for over a month after being named in a case involving funding for alleged religious conversions. His name came up in statements from two arrested suspects, who claimed he was involved in financial transactions linked to conversions.

Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav has called for agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Income Tax (I-T) Department to join the probe, saying this could be part of a larger international funding network.
