How Abdul Mohammed’s family react to the ransom demand?
Last week, Mohammed Saleem, Abdul’s father, received a call from an unknown number informing him that his son had been kidnapped by drug sellers in Cleveland. The caller demanded $1200 for his release but did not specify the mode of payment. Additionally, he threatened to sell the student’s kidney to the mafia if the ransom was not paid, according to the family.
Upon receiving this distressing news, the family alerted Abdul’s relatives in the US, who promptly reported him missing to the Cleveland police. Authorities described Abdul as wearing a white T-shirt, red jacket, and blue jeans. In an attempt to aid in the search for Abdul, the family contacted the Indian Council in Chicago for assistance.
This incident closely follows another tragedy involving an Indian student in the US. Abhijeeth Paruchuru, a 20-year-old engineering student in Boston, was found dead in a car in a forest. However, initial investigations by the Consulate General of India in New York found no signs of foul play, despite this being the ninth such incident in less than three months.
