Surat police arrested three men and rescued a businessman following an alleged abduction, according to an account published by The Times of India at 12:33 a.m. IST on October 3 and separately reported by NDTV later that day. The incident itself was reported to have occurred late on October 1. This is a report of the newly published police account, not a claim that the alleged abduction happened on October 3.
The arrested men were identified as Rishabh Nahata, Dev Ahir and Laxman Rathod. According to the complaint and investigators cited by The Times of India, the men allegedly forced the businessman into a vehicle after going to his home. Police said family members alerted them, officers traced the vehicle and the businessman was rescued. A vehicle and weapons were reportedly seized as part of the investigation.
The police account connects the visit to a dispute involving Nahata and the businessman’s daughter. Her identity and private details are unnecessary to report the arrests and are omitted. Investigators cited allegations of confinement, intimidation and injury, while the suspects’ individual roles remain matters for the case. The reports do not establish guilt or provide a final court outcome. No new hearing date or claim of a conviction is added.
