Comedian Sunil Pal Pays Ransom After Harrowing Kidnapping Ordeal

Sunil Pal was abducted near Delhi while traveling to a comedy event and released after paying ₹7.5-8 lakh to his captors.

Comedian Sunil Pal was kidnapped on December 2, 2024, while en route to a private event in Haridwar, after being lured with a fake booking for a comedy show.
The kidnappers initially demanded ₹20 lakh but released Pal after he arranged ₹7.5-8 lakh through friends in Mumbai.
Pal was blindfolded, threatened, and held hostage for 24 hours by a group of 7-8 individuals, some of whom were intoxicated.
His wife, Sarita, reported him missing to Mumbai police on December 3, leading to his safe return on December 4.
Pal, traumatized by the experience, is uncertain about filing a legal case due to threats made against his family by the kidnappers.
