A 24-year-old man from Indore, Satish Gupta, engineered his own kidnapping to extract a ransom of Rs 1 lakh from his father. Involved in expensive hobbies and IPL betting, Satish allegedly conspired with friends Aarush Arora and Tejveer Singh Sandhu. Police quickly uncovered the hoax.

In a bizarre twist of events, a 24-year-old man from Indore has been arrested for orchestrating his own fake kidnapping in a desperate bid to cover his debts. Police revealed the man, Satish Gupta, colluded with friends to demand a Rs 1 lakh ransom from his unsuspecting father.

Gupta, along with two accomplices—Aarush Arora and Tejveer Singh Sandhu—found themselves behind bars as police traced the suspicious activity back to them. The young man, fascinated by expensive hobbies, was also known to engage in betting on Indian Premier League matches.

The hoax call made to his father falsely claimed Gupta had been kidnapped, demanding payment for his release. However, police investigations quickly dismantled the deceitful narrative, pointing towards an overwhelming debt as the primary motive for the misguided plot.
