Mumbai, March 12: The Mumbai police last week arrested four people for allegedly kidnapping a 40-year-old man and dumping him in a room in Nallasopara.

Police officials said that all four accused are real estate agents. According to a report in the Indian Express, the victim had taken a loan from the accused and was unable to repay it.

The alleged kidnapping incident came to light after the police were alerted about the victim being abducted in an Innova car on Thursday night, March 7. Post this, the Deonar police registered a case of kidnapping. However, the complainant managed to escape from the kidnappers' clutches and contacted the authorities himself.

The police were unsure as to where the victim was taken or who was behind the crime. The complainant told cops that the car in which he was abducted had a sticker that said "Aliza". Following this, the police scanned CCTV footage and tracked the car to Nallasopara.
