A case has been registered against a woman and three others on the charge of keeping two officials of Chhattisgarh hostage at a farmhouse in Indore for two days, a senior police official said on Tuesday.
Police got the two officials, Srinivas Rao and Mukesh, released from illegal custody after raiding a resort in Dalip Nagar area after a tip-off on Monday night, Additional Superintendent of Police Rupesh Dwivedi told the media.
The police official said the two officials were kept hostage as the accused woman Sapna Sahu, who ran a non-governmental organisation, wanted Srinivas to give her Rs.2 lakh as she had visited Chhattisgarh at Srinivas' bidding but did not get a project for her NGO.
All the four accused are absconding, police said.
