Bhind Assistant Secretary Kidnapped, Beaten Over Wheat Procurement Dispute
A man who works for a farming cooperative in India says bad people grabbed him and hurt him.
His name is Vinod Singh Rajawat, and he works in a place called Bhind, in the state of Madhya Pradesh.
He helps the cooperative buy wheat from farmers for the government.
Someone angry about that wheat business grabbed him and locked him in a room.
The police are now trying to figure out what really happened.
They have filed a case against four people.
The four people told police that they gave wheat to the cooperative but never got paid.
They say they were angry because their money was missing.
Other people think the fight might be about wheat being bought in a sneaky way, outside the rules.
The police say they are still investigating to find the truth.
Vinod Singh Rajawat, assistant secretary of Machhand Cooperative Society, alleged he was kidnapped, held captive and beaten over a government wheat procurement dispute.
An FIR was registered at Lahar police station in Bhind district, Madhya Pradesh, against Ajit Chauhan, Dhirendra Singh Chauhan, Pawan Gupta and Abhinandan Chauhan.
The incident allegedly occurred on the night of August 4, when the suspects forced Rajawat into a vehicle and took him to a room where he was assaulted.
The dispute reportedly involves alleged irregularities in wheat procurement, with cheap wheat brought from outside shown as procurement under the government support price scheme.
The suspects' side claims they deposited wheat but received no payment; police have not verified the allegations and are investigating.
