Bengaluru: Former Bigg Boss Kannada contestant Tsunami Kitty and three of his associates abducted two people at gunpoint and threatened them to stay away from a friend’s wife.

The Jnanabharathi police on Friday arrested Tsunami Kitty alias Pradeepa, and his partners Arjun alias Muthappa (29), Santhosh alias Thuppa (24), and Yogesh (25) on various charges of kidnap, assault, and under the Arms Act.

Toushith Gowda, one of the kidnapped men working with a private firm, was in touch with the wife of Kitty's close friend. As his friend shared his anxiety about his wife getting cosy with another man, the actor and three associates decided to kidnap him, teach him a lesson and save his friend's marriage.

They contacted a man identified as Girish, a waiter at a bar-cum-restaurant. On February 28, as Girish stood near a shop at Doddabasti near Kengeri, the four men assaulted him, bundled him into a car and shut him in a room at a farm house in Horamavu.

While talking to Girish, the gang learnt that he used to reserve a table at the bar for Gowda and the wife of Kitty's friend.

Girish revealed Gowda's whereabouts and the gang snatched him in a different car from Goreguntepalaya near Peenya and locked him up with Girish at the farmhouse. Gowda denied having an affair with the woman, and told the gang that they were only friends.

The gang released Girish and Gowda after warning them at gunpoint not to report the incident to the police or anyone else.

On Friday, Girish approached the Jnanabharathi police and filed a complaint against Kitty and his associates.

According to the initiative, called “Auda” (return), expatriates can apply seeking permission for travel to their countries through the Absher portal of the ministry.

Announcing this, Saudi's Ministry of Interior said that the initiative will be implemented in cooperation with a number of relevant government agencies.

Requests for travel from expatriates will be received and approved in coordination with the relevant authorities to complete their travel procedures on board international flights.

As per the initiative, a text message will be sent to the beneficiary stating the travel date, ticket number and reservation details, and by which the beneficiary can obtain his travel ticket and complete the travel procedures.

Clarifying the procedures for the travel, the ministry said that the applicant shall select the icon (Auda) after visiting the Absher portal and fill the following fields: iqama (residency permit) number, date of birth, mobile number, departure city and airport of arrival.

It is not mandatory for the expatriate to have his own Absher account for availing of the service, the ministry said, adding that this facility is to enable expatriates to benefit from this initiative.
