Comedian and actor Sunil Pal has alleged that he was abducted from the outskirts of Delhi. According to Pal, he was brought on the pretext of attending an event in Haridwar. The organizers also handed over the advance payment to confirm the deal. However, things took a dark turn after stopping for lunch on the way to the venue. A person pretending to be a fan pushed him into a car and fled.
According to Pal, he was blindfolded and taken to a deserted place where many people were waiting. It is said that the kidnappers demanded a ransom of 20 lakh rupees for his release. When Pal said he didn’t have that kind of cash and debit card, they started looking for other ways to earn money.
“They seized my phone but allowed me to use it to contact friends and arrange funds. They released me the next day after receiving around Rs 7.5 lakh and also provided Rs 20,000 for my travel expenses,” Pal said in an audio statement with Screen. .
Pal claims that this incident has had a lasting impact on his mental health. He didn’t initially plan to speak publicly about the ordeal, but his wife contacted the police beforehand, prompting him to share his account. Pal alleged that her captors deleted all call records from her phone and destroyed any evidence that could lead the police to their identities. They also allegedly obtained personal information about her family, which made her worry for their safety.
As the truth of Pal’s claim is yet to be confirmed, the police investigation into the matter is ongoing. Meanwhile, Pal has been reunited with his family in Mumbai after returning home on Wednesday, December 4.
