The Mahalakshmi Layout police on Saturday arrested five men who allegedly kidnapped a civil engineer’s son while conducting a “raid” at his residence in Mahalakshmi Layout 2nd Stage by pretending to be police officers. The incident took place on New Year’s Eve. They seized valuables, and took the victim’s son, a PU student, along with them claiming that he was needed for questioning. Two of the accused are history-sheeters while the third is a family relative, said the police.
After leaving with the teenager, they called his father, S. Naik, demanding ₹20 lakh as ransom. “However, fearing that they would get caught, they let the boy go. He returned to his house a few hours later,” said the police.
