Man escapes attempted kidnapping on outskirts of Bengaluru
Bengaluru (PTI): A man narrowly escaped an attempted kidnapping after a group of miscreants allegedly tried to abduct him on the outskirts of the city, police said on Tuesday.
The incident occurred at around 4.30 pm on Monday near Indlawadi Cross in Anekal taluk, they said.
According to police, about eight men arrived at the spot on three motorcycles and in a car, intercepted the man as he was walking along the road, assaulted him and attempted to force him into the vehicle.
The accused allegedly stopped the man on the main road, abused him in filthy language and attempted to push him into their car, a senior police officer said.
The man resisted the attempt and raised an alarm, drawing the attention of passersby, police said.
As people began gathering at the spot, the accused panicked and fled in their car and on motorcycles, leaving the man behind, police said.
The timely intervention of residents helped prevent a major incident, they added.
"A case has been registered, and special teams have been formed to identify and arrest the accused involved in the attempted kidnapping," police said, adding that CCTV footage from the area is being examined as part of the investigation.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
