In Films, we normally kidnappers group roaming in Mini-Vans and taking away the unsuspecting kids, women/girls from the streets with no mercy.
But in real life, it is hard to distinguish between a kidnapper and a regular person. As there won't be any telling features, we tend to believe every person is good and trustworthy.
A kidnapper in Nellore took advantage of this nature and asked people to give their phones for urgent calls. Unsuspecting people thought they were helping someone in need.
But actually, they all got caught in a kidnapping scam as ransom demanders. Police traced out the calls that the kidnapper made to victims' families and they all lead to random people who have no connection with the kidnap at all.
Police found out that he used their phones cleverly to not demand Ransome. After understanding his ploy, police took his sketches and details from all suspects to trace him out.
Finally, they could catch him using CCTV footages and he confessed. Police are advising people to be aware of who is asking for their phone and for what purpose, when a stranger approaches them with such requests.
