A group of three owners of IT companies was taken hostage by men who impersonated police officers early this week. The kidnappers used a Secretariat‑hired Innova SUV to transport the victims to an undisclosed location.
According to police statements, the abductors demanded a ransom of ₹50 lakh from the families of the victims. The demand was communicated through a phone call to the owners’ relatives.
