Finance company operator held captive
A man residing at Khedapati colony of Gwalior approached Superintendent of Police, levelling allegations against four persons for holding him captive and allegedly assaulting him, the police said on Sunday.

Station house officer (SHO) of Vishwavidyalaya police station, Manish Dhakad said that the complainant Ram Kumar Goyal runs a private finance company in Thatipur. He told the police that he had gone to a hotel along with his friends for dinner, when a person named Deepak Yadav called him up and asked him to come outside the hotel.
