Shocking Twist: ‘Welcome’ Star Mushtaq Mohammad Khan’s Kidnapping Plot Unveiled—Shakti Kapoor Was Next in Line!
Film Industry Abductions: Gang Arrested for Kidnapping Actors in UP
In a dramatic turn of events, four men have been arrested for the abduction of actor Mushtaq Mohammad Khan from Delhi airport. The gang, with a penchant for targeting film stars, held Khan hostage in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, demanding a hefty ransom for his release. The unsettling details emerged when Bijnor Superintendent of Police, Abhishek Jha, revealed their elaborate plan to kidnap actors under the guise of event invitations.
The initial scheme unfolded when Khan, renowned for his roles in "Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke" and "Welcome," accepted an invitation to an event in Meerut. Lured by an advance payment and an air ticket, he arrived in Delhi on November 20, only to be intercepted and forcibly taken to Bijnor. During his captivity, the kidnappers coerced Khan into providing his bank account credentials, using them to extract Rs 2.2 lakh during shopping sprees in Meerut and Muzaffarnagar.
The plot thickened when it was revealed that Shakti Kapoor, a veteran actor, was also on their target list. His invite, which included a Rs 5 lakh offer, was stalled due to unresolved negotiations. Police investigations are ongoing to uncover whether other film stars have fallen prey to this gang.
Arrests were made in the case, detaining Sarthak Chaudhary, Sabiuddin, Azim, and Shashank. Although Rs 1.04 lakh was recovered from them, efforts continue to track down Lavi, the mastermind orchestrating the kidnapping ring. In a related twist, Arjun, connected to the recent kidnapping of comedian Sunil Pal, was shot and injured by police after a daring escape attempt during his medical escort in Meerut. His capture provided insights into their modus operandi, bolstered by the recovery of an SUV and cash.
As investigations proceed, authorities are working tirelessly to dismantle this nefarious network, ensuring the safety of the entertainment community.
