Two kidnap trader, threaten to burn him alive

Nagpur: Bhavesh Bhagwani, a trader, was allegedly abducted by dreaded goon and former murder accused Sagar Yadav, along with his accomplice Rajat Raut over a monetary dispute on Sunday from Itwari railway station.
The kidnappers later threatened Bhagwani to set him on fire at a petrol pump if he did not summon his friend Mohit Dewani.

Police said Bhagwani and his friend Trilok Tolani were heading towards Chhapru Nagar to play cricket when they were intercepted by Yadav and Raut who wanted the victim to make a call to Dewani. The accused, after forcing Bhagwani to ride with them on their bike, also roughed him up on Itwari railway yard premises as he was not willing to call Dewani.
Yadav, a former externee booked under the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous activities Act, threatened Bhagwani at knifepoint compelling him to call Dewani, who said he could not come immediately as he was at Kanhan.
Yadav and Raut later took Bhagwani to a petrol pump and threatened to set him on fire. The two later allowed Bhagwani to go but after threatening him to settle score if Dewani did not turn up.
Bhagwani approached Shanti Nagar police station where an offence against Yadav and Raut of kidnapping was registered.
