Videos hint at 2.6cr property fraud by trader's kin
In the videos, the name of Atul Gupta, a Nepalgunj-based man, is also mentioned who is accused of harassment.
Following a complaint by Shobhit's brother, police on Wednesday arrested Vivek and his wife Mudita on charges of abetting suicide.
According to police, Shobhit accused Vivek of usurping properties worth Rs 2.6 crore, including a house worth Rs1 crore, another property worth Rs 1 crore, and a shop worth Rs 60 lakh.
Through the videos, police came to know that Vivek and Mudita allegedly took Rs 22 lakh, both in cash and online transfers, from Shobhit.
Shobhit took loans worth Rs 70 lakh from banks and private lenders to invest in what he believed were joint family properties.
"The videos, 3.06 and 3.45 minutes in length, were recorded by Shobhit and his wife inside their home. In the videos, they alleged that Atul Gupta from Nepalgunj had been threatening Shobhit since 2016 and once even put a pistol to his chest.

Shobhit claimed Atul sent goons to his house and threatened his mother-in-law. Atul reportedly runs a restaurant called 'Little Hunger' in Nepalgunj and was connected to Vivek and Mudita," a police officer said.
"Police investigations reveal that Shobhit was lured with promises of land deals and property shares from his in-laws. Believing he would receive his rightful share in ancestral property, he took a Rs 28.5 lakh loan from a finance company and handed it to Vivek. However, he defaulted on repayments after which recovery agents began harassing him," he said.
"In her suicide note, Shobhit's wife Suchita wrote that her own family — her mother, sister Mudita, and brother-in-law Vivek — were responsible for pushing them into massive debt.," the officer said.

Congress Calls Chhattisgarh-wide ‘Chakka Jam' Over ED Arrest Of Ex-CM Baghel's Son
The protest, scheduled from 12 noon to 2 pm, will see road blockades across district headquarters, with major highways and commercial intersections targeted for disruption. Senior Congress leaders, including Deepak Baij, Charandas Mahant, TS Singhdeo, and Bhupesh Baghel himself, are expected to lead the agitation. In Raipur, the National Highway near VIP Chowk and Magneto Mall will be blocked, while Dharsiwa will witness a large-scale mobilisation by rural Congress workers. The party has framed the protest as a response to what it calls politically motivated misuse of central agencies to intimidate opposition voices. The ED arrested Chaitanya Baghel on July 18 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, citing his alleged involvement in a liquor scam that reportedly operated between 2019 and 2022. According to the agency, the scam caused a loss of over Rs 2500 crore to the state exchequer. Investigators claim Baghel received Rs 16.70 crore in proceeds of crime, which were funnelled through his real estate ventures. The ED also alleges that Baghel colluded with businessman Trilok Singh Dhillon to disguise illicit funds as legitimate property transactions, including Rs 5 crore routed through flat purchases in the Vitthalpuram Project. Further, the ED has traced over Rs 1000 crore in suspect transactions linked to Baghel and his associates, including coordination with liquor syndicate figures and alleged transfers to the then treasurer of the Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee. The agency has already arrested several individuals in connection with the case, including former IAS officer Anil Tuteja and former Excise Minister Kawasi Lakhma. Congress leaders have dismissed the charges as part of a broader campaign to dismantle the party's leadership in the state and divert attention from resource exploitation issues. Bhupesh Baghel has publicly accused the BJP-led central government of orchestrating the arrest to suppress dissent over environmental concerns. As the ED continues its investigation, the Congress's chakka jam is expected to test both public sentiment and political fault lines in a state already simmering with tension.
