On the night of October 8, an armed gang of around 15 men led by Yogendra Gurujar (also referred to as Yogesh Gurujar) forcibly invaded a residence in Girja village, Tigra police area, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. The victim, Annu (also referred to as Anju), who was nine months pregnant, was abducted at gunpoint two days before Karwa Chauth. The perpetrators fired up to ten rounds and assaulted Annu's family members, including her father-in-law Brijlal, mother-in-law Bhagwati, uncle Rameshwar, and grandmother Dhanwanti, using gun butts and causing severe injuries. Yogendra had previously been engaged to Annu, but her family canceled the marriage upon learning of his criminal background and married her to Giriraj Gurujar in July 2024 under police protection due to prior threats. Following the abduction, Madhya Pradesh police formed seven to eight teams. Station House Officer Santosh Yadav of Purani Chhawani navigated the forested area of Lanka ki Dang alone to initiate confidence-building measures and safely rescued Annu within 24 hours. She was hospitalized for exhaustion and medical evaluation. An FIR was registered under multiple Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections, including Section 109 (attempted murder), Section 87 (kidnapping/abduction), Section 331 (house-breaking/trespass), Section 125, Section 115, and Section 151 against 12 named individuals and 5 unidentified accomplices, with rewards announced for their arrest.

MP Gwalior: रात में Pregnant गर्लफ्रेंड को Kidnap कर ले गया Boyfriend! सास-ससुर को पीटा,रोता रहा पति
Family Opposition
This case illustrates an acute escalation of fixated obsession and rejection sensitivity, wherein an offender with a criminal background refused to accept the formal cancellation of an engagement. When the victim's family terminated the arrangement upon learning of his criminal record, the offender resorted to persistent threats. Ultimately, he mobilized a criminal network to execute an armed home invasion, terrorize her marital household, and forcefully abduct the heavily pregnant victim.
Police registered an FIR against 12 named suspects and 5 unidentified accomplices under BNS Sections 109 (attempted murder), 87 (kidnapping/abduction), 331 (house-breaking), 125, 115, and 151. Seven to eight specialized police teams coordinated across Morena, Sheopur, and Dholpur districts. Rewards have been announced for the capture of the absconding suspects.
Initial confusion involved navigating the remote forest terrain of Lanka ki Dang where the offender harbored the victim. Officers prioritized a non-violent confidence-building negotiation tactic via SHO Santosh Yadav to prevent the suspect from harming the pregnant victim during a tactical raid.
Yogendra Gurujar organized approximately 15 armed associates and drove to Girja village on October 8. Ten members fired firearms to paralyze the household with fear, while five men beat family members with gun butts. Yogendra seized Annu at gunpoint and hid her in the dense Lanka ki Dang forest. Police tracked his social network, identified his hideout, and sent SHO Santosh Yadav alone to secure Annu's safe release before launching manhunts for the gang.
The involvement of an armed criminal gang, illegal firearms, past explicit threats, and violent entry into a home highlights extreme lethality risks. The physical assault on multiple family members and abduction of a woman in her ninth month of pregnancy underscores a severe disregard for life, requiring urgent law enforcement action, tactical intervention, and protective security for the victim's family.
Prior threats and criminal backgrounds must be met with sustained long-term protective measures, as law enforcement protection provided during the July 2024 wedding did not prevent a planned post-marriage retaliatory attack.
Continuous threats of abduction issued by Yogendra to Giriraj post-marriage, combined with Yogendra's active criminal record in adjacent districts.
Intelligence gathered from Yogendra's local social circle and family contacts pointed investigators directly to his hideout in Lanka ki Dang forest.
Statements from injured family members, ballistic evidence from ten rounds fired at the residence, victim's statement upon rescue, and identified named co-conspirators.
Annu stated: 'I was picked up from my house yesterday by two people and taken into the forest. I was left in the forest itself. Today the police have brought me back. One of them is named Yogendra and the other is Kalli Gurujar.'
Initial reports focused on the dramatic armed abduction; subsequent updates confirmed Annu's safe recovery within 24 hours via forest negotiation and her admission to the hospital for medical care.
The primary suspect Yogendra Gurujar and his named co-accused remain absconding at the time of reporting.
