13 Jan
Summary
- Third key accused arrested in connection with kidnapping and ransom case.
- Kidnapping planned to recover Rs 2 lakh debt owed to the accused.
- Ransom demand escalated from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh during captivity.
Authorities have arrested the third primary individual implicated in the kidnapping of two 21-year-old friends, Rahul and Krishna, who were held for a Rs 5 lakh ransom. The incident, which occurred on December 6, 2025, originated from a conspiracy by one of the accused, 19-year-old Mayank, to recover a Rs 2 lakh debt.
Mayank, along with accomplices Danish and Riyan, who were apprehended earlier, allegedly kidnapped Rahul and Krishna from Greater Noida. The victims were transported to Gurgaon, where a ransom was demanded. Initially, the family was asked for Rs 1 lakh, but this demand quickly escalated to Rs 5 lakh as the situation became more perilous.
