They were in captivity for 5 days
The Sadduguntepalya police rescued a 21-year-old student who, along with his friend, had allegedly been kidnapped by a gang of six armed men last week for ransom. The gang had abducted the two students on April 2, and tortured them, but one of the victims, Abhishek Singh, escaped on April 6. Based on his statement to the police, a special team tracked down the second student, Joshua. Abhishek, a BBA student from Hyderabad, told the police that he had come to Bengaluru to visit Joshua as colleges were closed. “On April 2, they went to a bar on Hosur Main Road. After a couple of drinks, they boarded an autorickshaw to visit their friend at Electronics City. The driver took a detour and headed in the wrong direction. Before the two students could do anything about it, the autorickshaw stopped at an isolated place where another auto arrived,” said a police officer.
