A Chartered Accountant was abducted in Jaipur as part of a debt‑repayment scheme devised by four friends; police have arrested three of the accused while one remains at large.
Earlier this week, a Chartered Accountant was taken hostage in Jaipur, Rajasthan, in a plot allegedly aimed at settling a personal debt. According to police reports, four friends conspired to kidnap the professional, believing the ransom would cover the outstanding amount.
The scheme was reportedly coordinated among the four individuals, who selected the victim because of his perceived ability to pay. The abduction was carried out in a residential area of Jaipur, after which the perpetrators demanded money.
Law enforcement agencies acted swiftly, detaining three of the conspirators within days of the incident. The three suspects have been placed in judicial custody, while investigations continue to locate the fourth individual, who remains absconding.
Authorities have emphasized that the case underscores the rising trend of financially motivated crimes and have urged the public to report any suspicious activities related to extortion or kidnapping.
