A six-member gang from Hyderabad had allegedly kidnapped the doctor Behjas Hussain (58) from an apartment adjacent to the Excise Academy at Kismathpur around 1.30 pm on Tuesday and forcibly took him away in his car. After a few minutes, his family received a voice message on mobile phone, but the audio was not clear and they could not make out what the message was. Based on their complaint, the police booked a case and took up the investigation.
