The Central Crime Branch (CCB) police arrested four persons for allegedly kidnapping a businessman and attempting to extort him by misusing the Karnataka police’s name.
According to the police, the accused, identified as Kasim Sait, Shabeer, Shoaib, and Muzaffar, barged into a mobile shop at S.P. Road and told the owner that they had a tip-off that he had been selling drugs.
The businessman, who was rattled by the accusations coming from people claiming to be the associates of the police, informed them that he was innocent. The accused then kidnapped him and took him to an isolated place.
