Local police in India have arrested a man after he faked his own kidnapping and demanded INR 5 lac as ransom from his father.<\/p>\n
27-year-old Jitendra Dineshlal Joshi from Mumbai came up with the “genius idea” to pay off all his debts, including buying two expensive smartphones. On May 30, Jitendra staged his “abduction” and had his colleague make a ransom call to his wife.<\/p>\n
Joshi’s dad was not one to mess with as he called the police, who “rescued” Jitendra within five hours of the investigation. The hilarious incident serves as a cautionary reminder that desperate times do not always call for desperate measures, especially when those measures involve staging a comical kidnapping.<\/p>\n\t\t

The astute officers at the Bangur Nagar police station quickly launched an investigation, leaving no stone unturned. Armed with an arsenal of CCTV footage, the investigators swiftly unraveled the truth within a mere five hours, leaving the entire incident resembling a farcical comedy.<\/p>\n

During intense questioning, Jitendra, an employee at a popular departmental store in the Malad suburbs of Mumbai, cracked under pressure and confessed to “masterminding” the whole charade, with the help of a co-worker from the same company.<\/p>\n
Jitendra’s plan involved his colleague making the hoax phone call to his wife on the night of May 30, adding a touch of authenticity to the elaborate ruse.<\/p>\n
While the accomplice has not been charged in the case, Jitendra now finds himself facing serious jail time for his little stunt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
