Amid the tumult over BJP workers storming into the official residence of Chief Minister’s Private Secretary V Karthikeyan Pandian on Saturday, some party workers on the day allegedly kidnapped a police Sub-Inspector (SI) and released him after some time.
As per an FIR lodged by SI Markanda Mishra at the Capital police station, he was abducted by some workers of the BJP and later released near Master Canteen Square here.
The workers bundled the police official into a Tavera SUV, went around some parts of the city and dropped him near the party office here. They fled the spot soon after releasing Mishra.
Investigation into the matter is underway. Involvement of some criminals in the act is also suspected, police sources said.
CCTV footages of various junctions of the city are being scrutinised to ascertain the registration number of the vehicle, sources added.
