Indore: Recovery agents abduct 2 students over Rs 2,500 dues

INDORE: Two Class XII students having breakfast in Chandan Nagar area were abducted along with their vehicle by three recovery agents on their first day of job in a finance company for over dues of Rs 2500.

They saved their lives by jumping off the vehicle. It came to fore later that the said vehicle was not on finance from the company but from a private bank.

The accused approached three youths who were on their vehicle and attacked them. They then allegedly forced them to accompany them to an undisclosed location. While one of the youths managed to flee, two others were abducted and being taken away when they jumped and saved their lives, they told police.

After being arrested, the accused said that they were mistaken with the registration number and tried to talk to the youths but did not abduct them. On the complaint of the youths, a case of abduction was registered against the accused.

Chandan Nagar police station in-charge Yogesh Tomar said that Nikhil Soni had gone to have breakfast with his friends Azan Khan and Ram Thakur on his uncle Sachin Soni’s vehicle and was returning home when they were held by the accused who came on different two wheelers and forcefully made them sit on their vehicles. Ram Thakur managed to flee from the spot but Nikhil and Azan were taken away. As the vehicles slowed down on speed breakers, they jumped off. They reached the police station along with their family members late on Thursday where a case was registered against the accused and further investigations were initiated.

Tomar said that on their complaint, Rohit Gohar, Siddharth Sisodiya and Mohit were booked and arrested.

They are recovery agents in a finance company and had joined a day ago in the company.

Nikhil and Azan are sons of property dealer and plywood businessman of the city.
