Advocate Balram Mehta was abducted from outside the District Police Office in Inaruwa, reports said.
The leader of the gang, Sanket, who was recently expelled by the JTMM-Jwala Singh, telephoned local media offices and claimed responsibility for the abduction, but didn’t clarify the reasons behind the abduction.
