Shamim Modi was arrested on 10 February in some old cases. She is presently languishing in Hoshangabad jail. One is a kidnapping case. The police alleged that she had kidnapped a tribal woman but the very tribal woman told the magistrate in the court that she was never kidnapped by Shamim, yet her bail application was rejected and sent to jail. She was arrested within 24 hours following a 48-hour ultimatum by the industries association demanding her arrest. Shamim has been involved in the struggle of the saw mill workers and the hammals (kulies) who have been denied the minimal legal entitlements. She was fighting against the nexus between politicians and forest mafia.
