The accused have been identified as Nurullah Hussain, Abubakar, and Ali Reza, all hailing from Bihar.
The victim has been identified as Mohammad Asif Habib, the owner of a factory located in RT Nagar. Nurullah Hussain had been employed at Asif’s factory for five years, and Asif, being deeply concerned for his well-being, spared no expense in taking care of him. However, unbeknownst to Asif, Nurullah had ulterior motives.

To carry out this scheme, the accused trio embarked on a journey, traveling to Mandya. From there, they contacted Asif and informed him of Nurullah’s supposed kidnapping. They demanded a ransom of Rs 2 lakh and assured Asif that they would release Nurullah upon receipt of the money.
