Thereafter, they called up Abhishek and threatened to kill him if his father did not sign on a blank paper promising to hand over all his property.


Abhishek rushed to the Azad Maidan police station and registered a complaint. The cops managed to arrest Goyal, Singhram, Keni and Nayar, while both Naydu and Jaiswal escaped. During investigation it was revealed that gangster D K Rao had sent all of them. Thereafter, a case was registered against the accused, including Rao under sections 342, 387, 452 and 34 of IPC.
