The team led by T R Jagannath and city crime branch inspector, Venkatesh Prasanna, found out the car involved with the abduction, and confiscated it, on the basis of information collected from the arrested person.
The accused has been identified as Parviz Ahmed Bodda (24), residing at D H House in Pavoor Debbilachil in Harekala village. It is learnt that the police also have gathered information about the other four members of the gang, and an operation has been launched to nab them. Investigation of the case is being conducted by police attached to Konaje police station.
