Six-member gang kidnaps yesteryear reel villain’s relative, a Bosch employee, for Rs 1-cr ransom
In this incident, any resemblance to events or characters, living or dead, is purely coincidental. A project manager at Bosch, who happens to be the brother-in-law of late Kannada movie actor Vajramuni (known for playing the villain) was kidnapped by a six-member gang. Fortunately for him, an unlikely hero saved the day and he was rescued by the police and the kidnappers arrested. The ‘hero’ was no swash-buckling star, but the check posts that have been set up for the forthcoming assembly elections.
The victim has been identified as Shiva Kumar, a resident of Singasandra in Parappana Agrahara police limits. The main accused, B Sathyavelachari alias Sathya, was known to Kumar and was aware of Kumar’s business. He had sought monetary help from him to clear an outstanding SUV loan. When Kumar refused to lend him money, Sathya hatched a plot to kidnap him. Kumar was kidnapped on Sunday afternoon at 1.30 pm when he was going from his residence towards JP Nagar. Kumar, who was building a new house, was looking for interior designer. Sathya introduced him to an interior designer identified as Tajmil Pasha and asked him to come to Pasha’s house in JP Nagar. Kumar informed his wife where he was going before he set off. However on his way to JP Nagar, Sathya and his associates kidnapped him. The gang then took the victim towards Srinivasapura, Mulabagilu and other places of Kolar district. On Monday morning, using the victim’s phone, the accused called Sudha and demanded a ransom of Rs one crore failing which he would be killed.
The accused are identified as Sathya, a resident of Arakere on BG Road, CS Yashwanth Yadav alias Yashu, 20, of Karanji Katte in Kolar, N Vinod Kumar, 21, N Shekar alias Shake alias Nalla, 20, S Sanjay Reddy alias Kichcha, 20, all from Srinivasapura in Kolar and S Jagannath alias Jagan, 23, of Mulabagilu in Kolar. The police have recovered two SUVs that were used to kidnap Kumar. An officer who is a part of the investigative team said, “The accused asked Sudha to come along with the cash (Rs 1 crore) near Sarjapura Circle. When she reached the spot but could not find the accused, she filed a report with the Parappana Agrahara police.”
Three police teams formed to probe the matter went through the victim’s call details and found out that the last call was made from the Kolar district.
The police then sought the help of the check posts personnel along with the tollgate staff and informed them of the car’s registration number that was used to kidnap Kumar. The police finally arrested the gang near Kolar and rescued the victim on Wednesday.
“Sathyavelachari is the victim’s friend. Kumar who owned ancestral property in his name, had constructed apartments through a joint venture. He had sold a few flats that had come to his share and had deposited the money in a bank. Sathyavelachari, who knew this, sought financial help from Kumar to pay off a vehicle loan. When Kumar refused to lend him money, Sathya was angry. He then hatched a plot with his accomplices to kidnap Kumar, ’’ said Seemanth Kumar Singh, Additional Commissioner of Police (East).
