A woman from Malvani, Malad, has reported the kidnapping of her nephew, Amanullah Ansari, on Tuesday evening. According to her complaint, four men forcibly abducted Amanullah into a tempo and demanded a ransom of Rs 33,000 from his family for his release. Disturbed by the nature of the ransom demand, the woman promptly approached the Malvani police station for assistance.
The police registered a case based on her complaint.
A team led by Sub-Inspector Amit Dhumal, Amol Yanare, and Amar Shinde under Senior Inspector Shailendra Nagarkar of Malvani police station launched the investigation. During the process, the police detained and arrested Abhishek Singh, Ajay Pandey, Pradeep Singh, and Anwar Khan from the Ram Mandir area Goregaon. Amanullah was rescued from their custody.
It was later revealed that Amanullah had a minor argument with the four individuals over the purchase of a mobile phone.
It has been alleged that Amanullah had taken cash from the accused but failed to provide them with the mobile phone they were expecting. On the evening of the incident, the accused confronted Amanullah, demanding their money back.
