Sadar police in Daltonganj rescued three girl dancers of an orchestra party who were locked up in a room by one Sanjay Singh of Baiga toli in Chiyanki on Saturday morning. The locking up of three dancers was over a dispute with regard to payment.
Sources said there was a song and dancing party at Sanjay Singh’s residence on the night of May 11 where these three dancers who hailed from Chhatisgarh were to perform. However at four in the morning Sanjay Singh locked these three girls up in a room and threatened to kill them if they raised any hue and cry.
Officer in-charge of Sadar police station Mamta Kumari told The Pioneer, “I got a call on 100. It was difficult to locate the caller. One of the three girl dancers had android cell phone but was not knowing how to operate it for getting location. I told her to follow the instruction. She did it and I finally identified the location and the police reached Sanjay Singh’s house at 8 in the Friday morning and got the three girl dancers freed.”
Police arrested Sanjay Singh under Section 347 (wrongful confinement) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC. Both the sections are bailable.
