Madhya Pradesh village crowdfunds to secure release of kidnapped men

Villagers in this Madhya Pradesh hamlet are running a crowdfunding campaign to secure funds for the release of three of its men who have been kidnapped by a gang of criminals operating from neighbouring Rajasthan. "We will try and donate, 100-200-2000 so that we can pay the ransom and secure our boys,” said local villager Ramji Baghel. Gangs, particularly dacoits operating from Rajasthan, have often been active in bordering districts of MP’s Gwalior-Chambal region, particularly Sheopur district.
