Anup Katiyar, the married son of a retired revenue official in Uttar Pradesh, has reportedly been abducted, with his captors demanding a Rs 5 lakh ransom for his release. The local police, under the supervision of Additional Superintendent of Police (City) Manush Parik, have formed five teams to locate the missing individual.

Kiran Katiyar, a resident of Pawan Vihar Colony in Baradari, lodged a complaint with the police regarding the kidnapping of her husband, Anup Katiyar. She detailed that the ransom call made by the abductors demanded Rs 5 lakh. Authorities have registered a case under Section 140 (2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita to initiate the investigation.
