Palakkad Shocker: Lottery Claim Sparks Unexpected Kidnapping Twist!

In a shocking case from Palakkad, a businessman was kidnapped and beaten up for a ransom of Rs 15 lakh. The incident took place in Kanjikode. The victim, Binu, who lives at Tejas, KTC Junction, was abducted by a group of people. Police have arrested one person, Ravindran, a native of Thirunellai, and said they have recovered evidence from his phone.

This whole drama unfolded on the night of the 28th of last month. The gang first called Binu, luring him with a promise of giving him money against his vehicle's RC book. When he reached Akathethara, a five-member gang arrived in a car and kidnapped him. They took him to a deserted house in Chavadi Chimmanampathy, tied him up, and brutally beat him. The gang mistakenly believed that Binu had won a Rs 15 lakh lottery and demanded he hand over the entire amount.
