Bid to kidnap Malad boy: 2 BMC 'staffers' held

When a person posing as a BMC staffer called up Malad businessman Vipul Nathwani to say that his 13-year-old was going to be fined for not wearing a mask outdoors, things did not seem right. Nathwani repeatedly tried reaching his son on his phone. A short while later, a call came in and sent shivers down Nathwani’s spine. The man pretending to be a civic staffer was a kidnapper and wanted a ransom to let off the teenager. Nathwani rushed to Malad police, who tracked down the teen in two hours and nabbed two kidnappers that night.
