They first took him near Ganesh Mandir, where they demanded a ransom amount of Rs. 50,00,000/- (Rupees fifty lakhs) and threatened to kill him if he failed to arrange the said amount. Thereafter, they took him to the backside of the MLA Hostel and then to the backside of Downtown Hospital.

In view of the gravity and seriousness of the offence and having regard to the stated ground of arrest that the petitioner has criminal antecedents, the prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. 9. Accordingly, this bail application stands disposed of. JUDGE Page No.# 4/4 Comparing Assistant
