Mangaluru, Aug 22: The family of a youth, who was kidnapped a gang of miscreants from Manjanady on the outskirts of the city 11 days ago, has received a ransom demand of Rs 1.5 crore.
Mohammed Arif (29), who worked in a Gulf country for several years before returning hometown recently, was allegedly abducted on August 11 near his house. Since then, the family members couldn't contact him.
Abdul Rahman, a kin of the kidnapped youth, in his complaint to Konaje police, has claimed that the family received ransom calls from an unknown foreign number.
“The family received ransom calls several times in past 10 days. On Saturday someone called and demanded Rs 1.5 crore amount for safe release of Mr Arif,” the complainant said.
He said that a few local residents had claimed that a black car had been suspiciously moving near Mr Arif's house on the day of kidnapping.
Konaje police suspected involvement of Kerala based gang in the case. Inspector Ashok said that they were trying to trace the culprits.
