A recent incident involved Mushtaq Khan, known for his role in 'Stree 2', who narrowly escaped hisors and promptly reported the ordeal law enforcement. As a result, authorities have detained four individuals connected to the abduction. The investigation has uncovered a sinister plot not only against Khan but also aimed at veteran actor Shakti Kapoor.
The mechanism of this criminal operation was alarmingly deceptive, involving invitations to events complemented with airfare and advance payments to lure their targets. On November 20th, Khan was enticed to Meerut under the guise of attending an event, only to be forcibly taken and held hostage in a house by his abductors. They sought to extract his bank details during his captivity. Khan's escape was facilitated by the kidnappers' inebriated state, allowing him to seek help and inform the police of the harrowing experience.
Further investigations into this gang's activities revealed that they had also approached Shakti Kapoor with a similar lure, offering him Rs. 5 lakh to attend an event. However, when Kapoor requested a higher advance payment, they opted to kidnap Khan instead. This revelation has prompted the police to probe deeper into the possibility of this gang's involvement in other kidnapping cases targeting film stars.
This incident sheds light on the worrying tactic of using event invitations as a facade for kidnapping, highlighting the lengths to which these criminals will go to target celebrities. The swift action by law enforcement in arresting those responsible for Khan's abduction demonstrates their commitment to tackling this issue. However, the broader implications for the safety of public figures within the Bollywood industry remain a significant concern.
