The arrests followed a First Information Report (FIR) lodged by Pintu Kumar Yadav. In his complaint, he said his elder brother, Santosh Kumar, left home at about 1pm but did not return by the evening.
At around 7.30pm, Yadav received a call from Santosh, who allegedly told him he had been abducted and that ₹5 lakh was being demanded for his release. Yadav later handed over ₹1.5 lakh at the excise police station, police said. |
