The Halasuru police arrested three men, who posing as policemen, allegedly kidnapped a bullion trader from Delhi and his business partner, a Chartered Accountant, for a ransom of ₹10 lakh. The accused Nazeem Pasha, is a habitual offender who had been arrested by the Pulakeshi Nagar for house break-ins. He teamed up with his associates, Santosh and Asghar, who are cab drivers by profession, and two other friends. They hatched a plan to kidnap Aravind Mehta and Diwakar Reddy. Mehta, a licensed bullion trader from Delhi, was in the city for business. He approached Diwakar, a city-based CA, and the two would meet at a hotel on Dickenson Road every day. Pasha, who got to know about Mehta’s business ventures, checked his background on social media and hatched a plan to extort money from them.
