In his complaint, Khan said that he was on a call with a customer when a van stopped outside the shop around 1 pm, reports Hindustan Times. Khan told Kandivli police, "Four men came out and caught hold of me. They pushed me inside the vehicle. I wanted to scream, but they gagged me. There were eight persons in the vehicle."
He further added, "I was tied to a chair and beaten up by the men for more than two days." On October 1, Khan's employer Lukman Khan registered a complaint with the Kandivli police and gave them the number of the vehicle.
Ravi Adane, senior inspector of Kandivli police station said that on inquiring about the number plate, they found out that it belonged to a lawyer from Trombay. During the police investigation, it was learned that Khan’s relative Tabassum Khan had eloped with a boy from Mallipur in Uttar Pradesh and that Khan knew of their whereabouts.
