Jaipur South Deputy Commissioner of Police Digant Anand stated that complainant Amit Kumar reported an incident on November 7. Around 1 a.m., returning to his home from Meera Marg Mansarovar via cab, Amit was intercepted by a vehicle that forced his cab to stop. Subsequently, a group of 4-6 men dragged Amit out and forcibly took him to their car.
They confiscated three mobile phones, wallet, watch, and cash, before confining him on an isolated apartment's rooftop—demanding a staggering 5 million rupees ransom. However, Amit managed to escape during an opportune moment.
