TNN | Sep 15, 2019, 06.45 AM IST  CHENNAI: 


A day after a nurse was reported to have been kidnapped by unidentified men from Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus (CMBT), police revealed that the kidnap had been staged by the woman and her boyfriend. The two were arrested and are now in jail.

While the woman, A Vidya, 22, of Telangana, is a nurse at a private hospital, her boyfriend Mano, 25, of Karaikal, works in a software firm. Vidya's father Arumugam, had received a call from an unknown number on Wednesday, saying his daughter had been kidnapped, and that he should pay 10 lakh to get her back.

Vidya's brother Vignesh, 24, also received a call with the same demand and to convince him further, Vidya spoke in a choked voice begging to be rescued.

Vignesh lodged a complaint at the Koyambedu police station, and a team headed by joint commissioner B Vijayakumari probed the incident. Mano confessed to hatching a plan to extort money from Vidya's father, as he needed money to go abroad for a job.
