The ransom money was reportedly collected near Steel Town in Karachi, but in a shocking turn of events, Musfira and Waleed got back by the police and turned over to their families.

Indian media reports that Ankit, a (20-year-old) youngster from Vasai, Mumbai, sent his father a WhatsApp message requesting that he scan a QR code and pay the kidnappers (30,000) in ransom. But the child didn’t know his father had already called the cops. Within (2) hours, (4) squads from the Valiv police station found the young person.

After his (20-year-old) son Ankit failed to come home on Friday, the man’s father, Nanelal Yadav, filed a report of missing persons. Additionally, Ankit’s cell phone was unreachable.

On Saturday morning of the next week, Ankit contacted his uncle on his cell phone and told him that (3) guys had “abducted” him. He then messaged his father on WhatsApp, requesting that he scan a QR code to send the kidnappers (Rs 30,000) online. But after getting the SMS, the father went back to the police. He informed the police that if the money was not paid, Ankit would be threatened.
