Dangi community march in Sehore seeks three missing family members; police given 24 hours

Members of the Dangi community held a march in Sehore on Wednesday afternoon, demanding that Suresh Dangi, Rajesh Dangi and Omwati Dangi, who went missing from Khaikheda village, be found at the earliest. The march began at Bhopali Phatak and went to the offices of the Superintendent of Police and the Collector.

The protest was led by Dangi community president Babulal Dangi. Participants carried photographs of the three missing persons. On reaching the offices, they submitted a memorandum to Additional Superintendent of Police Prashant Chaubey and Deputy Collector Kiran Singh.

According to the case, Kiran Dangi's father Suresh Dangi, mother Omwati Dangi and brother Rajesh Dangi have been missing since the night of November 3. The three had gone to water the fields on their ancestral land of three and a half acres in Khaikheda village in Sehore district.

The family said they spoke to the three by phone at 7 pm on November 3. They said then that they would return home soon. Nothing has been heard of them since.

Vinay Singh Dangi, a social worker from Semra Dangi, gave the police administration 24 hours to trace the missing people. He said the Dangi community would stage a sit-in protest after that.

Aam Aadmi Party leader KP Singh Baghel also called the incident worrying. He said the police should search for them in this case.

Sehore SDOP Prem Narayan was also present at the SP office during the submission of the memorandum. He assured the gathering that the police were continuously searching for the missing people and would find them soon. A large number of Dangi community members took part in the protest.
