The Nagpada police have arrested four men for allegedly kidnapping a six-year-old boy, Amaan Jamadar, and demanding Rs 3 lakh as ransom from his father. The four accused have been identified as Shanavaz Khan (31), the child’s uncle who works as a driver, Samir Khan (42) and Adnan Naik alias Raju (33), both taxi drivers, and Mohammad Akram Siddiqui (25).

On Saturday at 1.30 pm, Amaan’s father, Rehmat Jamadar, a resident of Dhancastle building in Nagpada, got a call from an unknown person. The caller started abusing Jamadar, and he disconnected the call. But Jamadar soon got another call from the same number and he was told, “Teen peti tayyar rakhna, tera beta mere pass hai.” (‘Keep Rs 3 lakh ready, I have your son’).
