Days after comedian Sunil Pal was found following his wife lodging a missing complaint with the Mumbai Police, it is Mushtaq Khan who became a victim of kidnapping and torturing in Uttar Pradesh. The Welcome actor was kidnapped after he was invited to an event in UP.

The actor met the same fate after he was allegedly invited to attend an event in Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor. Khan's business partner Shivam Yadav recalled the horrifying incident and revealed what all he had to go through for 12 long hours.

For the uninitiated, Mushtaq Khan is a supporting actor who has various side characters that went on to be popular. He has featured in some blockbuster movies like Welcome, Stree, and Bala, among others.

Mushtaq Khan kidnapped

The actor was invited to attend an event in Meerut on November 20. The advance amount was transferred to his bank account, and he even received flight tickets to Delhi. However, once he reached the capital, he was asked to step inside a car and was driven away to the outskirts, which is said to be somewhere near Bijnor.

Shivam revealed that Khan was tortured and harassed for about 12 hours and even asked for a ransom of a crore. Eventually, they took 2 lakh from Mohsin and his son's account.

The next morning, Mushtaq Khan managed to escape from the place and sought help from locals and police to return home.

"Mushtaq sir and his family were completely shaken over what happened with him. However, he was always sure that he would file an FIR after he composed himself. Yesterday, I went to Bijnor and filed an official FIR," his business partner said.

Shivam Yadav further added, "We have proof of the flight ticket, the bank accounts, and even CCTV footage near the airport. He also recognises the neighbourhood, even the house where he was kept. I think the police team will surely get the culprits soon."

Is Mushtaq Khan's case similar to Sunil Pal's kidnapping?

The Stree actor's case is uncanny to that of the comedian going missing. Recently, Sunil Pal went missing for a couple of hours after he was invited to perform at a show in Uttar Pradesh.

Speculation suggests there's a syndicate running that intends to harm actors and dupe them of money under the pretext of inviting them to attend or perform at events.

When asked Yadav about the same, he said, "We had no clue about the case. After Mushtaq sir returned, we spoke about the incident with a few of our close friends. When Sunil's case was highlighted in the media, they informed us about the same."

"It is shocking that two public figures from the industry had to go through a similar ordeal. We hope there is awareness and protection in the future for everyone," he mentioned.

Mushtaq Khan was last seen in Shraddha Kapoor's Stree 2. He is reportedly doing fine and will address the matter once he is out of shock.
