The Koramangala police baffled over a strange case of kidnap when a software engineer barged into the station on Sunday afternoon complaining that his friend had been kidnapped by his business partner for ransom.
The complainant,Ahmed Sanoop told the police that his friend Vineeth vardhan who had gone to Hosur called him to inform that his former business partner identified as Edwin Prashanth had abducted him and was harassing him to pay a ransom of Rs 40 lakh.
The police tried to reach him but in vain following which a case under section 364A ( Kidnapping for ransom) has been registered .
Soon the police swung into action and started tracking Vineeth and even called his family members to the station for further inquiries.
The case became complicated when Vineeth called his family members informing them that he was not kidnapped but with his friends on a joy ride .
He further informed the family members that he would be returning to the city soon and will meet the police too.
Now the police are in a state of confusion and suspecting whether vineeth was really abducted or plotting his own kidnap to extort money from his family .
The police are now awaiting for his return while a team of police trying to track him down through technology.
