In an interesting case of alleged abduction and illegal
confinement, CBI, successfully recovered the "abducted"
person, Man Singh from District Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh).
Man Singh, a known supplier of weapons to dacoits in
the dreaded Chambal Region had gone missing on 8.2.2005.
Disappearance of Man Singh created furore in Chitrakoot
district (M.P.) leading to transfer and disciplinary
action against several senior police officers as Ram
Lakhan Singh, a resident of Chitrakoot district and
father of Man Singh in a Habeas Corpus Petition filed
before the Allahabad High Court alleged his abduction
and illegal confinement by the district police authorities.
CBI initiated investigation into the matter on the
directions of the High Court of Allahabad on 30.9.2005.
During investigations, CBI established a camp office
at Chitrakoot and conducted raids at remote locations
in and around Chitrakoot, Banda District of Uttar Pradesh
and Satna District of Madhya Pradesh. Persistent efforts
finally paid dividends when Man Singh was apprehended
near Railway Road, Jabalpur (M.P) on 28.11.2005.
Preliminary investigations of CBI revealed that Man
Singh had gone into hiding on his own. His family members
had thereafter misused the legal process only to force
the Chitrakoot district police authorities not to pursue
criminal cases against him.
