According to the police, 20-year old Manoj Desai was kidnapped by six people sometime around midnight on Wednesday. He was kidnapped near the Rani Laxmibai statue on Satellite road. The police said that Desai was taken towards Vasna gaam, where he was brutally beaten up by the kidnappers.
Desai was admitted to Shalby Hospital. However, according to the police, he succumbed to his injuries at 12:30 pm on Friday. His father Ishwar Desai, a resident of Sheshnagar Society near Vastrapur railway station, lodged a complaint with the Satellite police.
However, the police claimed that they do not know the reason behind the kidnapping. The six persons have been identified as Dinesh Rabari, Kulesh Rabari, Kalpesh Rabari, Mahesh Rabari, Dinesh Rabari and Shailesh Rabari.
"Investigations are on but we are yet to find out the motive behind the incident. However, Desai and the six accused are part of a group, and have been celebrating Navratri together for the last many years. Prima facie, it appears that a dispute between them led to the incident," said a source.
Sources also said that Desai, in his statement, told the police that he fainted after being beaten up by the accused. He woke up only to find himself in Shalby Hospital, but didn't know how he reached there.
