Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the victim is only an employee of an automobile shop. The petitioner came there with someone, but was later abducted. The petitioner is in no way connected with the alleged offence.

Learned counsel for the de facto complainant strongly opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that it was the petitioner who had been instrumental in orchestrating the abduction.

ransom call was subsequently made.

Learned counsel for the State relies on the statement of the victim made before the learned Magistrate. The name of

the petitioner was specifically taken in the statement. After tapping the calls by the police, they were able to surround the place and recover the victim.
