The HSR Layout police cracked a kidnap case and arrested a mechanic who allegedly held a PU student at gunpoint in his own car demanding ransom from his family on Friday.
The accused has been identified as Manu, a resident of a PG accommodation in Kodichikkanahalli and native of Tumakuru.
The victim, Jayasurya, 18, son of a city-based astrologer, was returning from NEET coaching in his SUV, when the accused, on the pretext of seeking a drop, got into the car and held him hostage at gunpoint and forced him to take him to an isolated place in Tilaknagar.
