Chembur police have arrested five persons in connection with the abduction and wrongful confinement of a 30-year-old man.
Manoj Jaiswal, a professional driver, was allegedly kidnapped by the accused and confined in a ration shop in Mankhud for two days.
According to Chembur police, the accused had hired Jaiswal last month to go to Baroda for a jewellery deal. They had allegedly smuggled in the gold and silver jewellery. However, at Baroda, the five were robbed of their valuables by some unidentified people.
But they suspected that the robbery was planned by Jaiswal.
To get their lost jewellery back, they abducted Jaiswal on December 31 as he was returning after dropping his employer home. The accused took him to Mankhurd.
On January 2, Jaiswal told the accused that if they let him go, then he would get the jewellery back. Jaiswal approached the police.
On Jaunary 3, the police arrested Rahul Salve, who revealed the whereabouts of the other accused. The four have been identified as Sunil Jaiswal, Sanjay Waghmare, Raju Langda and Ismail Shaikh. They were arrested on Tuesday.D
