A man was attacked and abducted in Gajularamaram on Wednesday, October 7, after a business dispute turned violent. Five unidentified men seized Ashok Reddy from Yandamuri Layout and drove him away in a car.
Reddy had been in a partnership with Chandrasekhar for nearly three years. When the venture suffered financial losses, the two entered into a dispute, with Chandrasekhar allegedly harassing Reddy over money matters. Reddy’s wife, Beedala Swathi, reported that for five days prior to the abduction, unknown callers had threatened the family, demanding payment and threatening to kill their children and the rest of the household if the demands were not met.
The abduction was first reported when a school driver informed Swathi of the attack. She filed a complaint with Jagadgirigutta police, who registered a case under Section 137(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and began an investigation.
The police have not yet identified the abductors or located Reddy. The investigation continues as authorities seek to determine the circumstances of the kidnapping and the identities of those involved.
