Actors Sunil Pal and Mushtaq Khan Report Separate Kidnapping Cases in Meerut

Police are investigating possible links between the two incidents, both involving ransom demands and alleged abductions during trips to Uttar Pradesh.

Comedian Sunil Pal alleges he was kidnapped while traveling to Uttarakhand for a show, with kidnappers demanding Rs 20 lakh; he was released after paying Rs 8 lakh.
Actor Mushtaq Khan claims he was abducted on November 20 after being invited to an event in Meerut, tortured for 12 hours, and forced to transfer Rs 2 lakh before escaping.
Meerut police have detained two suspects in connection with Sunil Pal's case and are investigating an audio clip where Pal allegedly discusses the kidnapping plan.
Mushtaq Khan's business partner has filed an FIR, providing evidence including flight tickets, bank transactions, and CCTV footage to aid the investigation.
Authorities are exploring potential connections between the two cases, as both victims are public figures targeted under similar circumstances in the same region.
