The Yelahanka police on Tuesday arrested a 43-year-old businessman and three of his associates for allegedly kidnapping a private college student to recover money from his father.
The accused Ramesh Rathod, Rizwan Patel, Indrajith Pawar and Harish Kumar from Kalaburagi were arrested with the help of the Chitradurga police.
According to the police, the accused approached the victim, studying in a private college, accusing him of harassing a girl and forced him in a car on the pretext of inquiry and drove away. When the accused reached Tumakuru and stopped the car for a break, the victim managed to escape and went to the police. The police later handed him over to Yelahanka police, who swung into action and tracked down the accused near Chitradurga and arrested them within a few hours.
