The Hebbal police on Friday registered an FIR against the owner of a mobile phone shop and four of his associates for allegedly holding an 18-year-old PU student against his will and torturing him for two days.
The accused who claimed that the victim, Abdul Ahad, had stolen from them, released him with instructions to return with ₹60,000. The teenager who needed medical care approached the police with his family members and lodged a complaint.
In his statement, Mr. Ahad said that along with his PU studies, he had taken up a job as a salesman at a mobile phone sales and service shop in Sultanpalya.
