The Kidnapping news of stand-up comedian Sunil Pal has taken over social media on Tuesday. Amid all this, now the kidnapping case of film and TV actor Mushtaq Khan has also come to light. Bijnor Police has registered a case against the kidnappers in this case. According to the FIR, Khan was kidnapped from Delhi-Meerut Highway on November 20. He was there for an event program in Meerut when he was kidnapped from a cab. In the complaint given to the police, it was reported that money was also forcibly withdrawn from the artist's mobile after the kidnapping. At the same time, a case has been registered on the complaint of event manager Shivam Yadav. The police have registered a case in the case of kidnapping, holding hostage, demanding ransom and threatening to kill.
The event manager lodged a complaint
According to the FIR, Khan received an invitation to the event along with airline tickets and advance money that was credited to his account. But after arriving in Delhi, he was abducted and taken to a remote location close to Bijnor, where his captors held him as a prisoner for almost twelve hours. They sought a ransom of one crore rupees while torturing him. The kidnappers were only able to withdraw Rs 2 lakh from Khan's and his son's bank accounts despite the experience. The actor was able to escape after hearing the morning azaan. When the senior actor noticed that there was a mosque close by, he took advantage of the situation and fled, asking for assistance from the residents. Mushtaq Khan returned home safely with the help of the police.
"Because of what had happened to him, Mushtaq Sir and his family were deeply affected. But he was always certain that after he had calmed down, he would file a FIR. I went to Bijnor yesterday to formally register an FIR. We have evidence of the bank accounts, the travel ticket, and even CCTV footage taken close to the airport. Additionally, he recognises the neighbourhood, including the home where he was detained. I'm confident that the police will apprehend the offenders shortly," complainant and event manager Shivam Yadav told News 18.
Considering Bijnor as the place of the incident, the police have registered a case of kidnapping and ransom on the complaint of Shivam Yadav. The police have started investigating this incident. Mushtaq Khan is reportedly doing well right now and will likely speak to the media in the next few days to give a detailed account of his kidnapping. (Input- Rohit Tripathi)
