The driver of Yogesh Kislay, Press Advisor to Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das, was abducted by unidentified persons from Ashok Nagar area here before they let him off near Jamshedpur after taking away the car, police said.
The driver, Jitendra Kumar Mahto, told police that the abductors last night intercepted him at Ashok Nagar, beat him up and took him away before leaving him near Ghaghra bridge near the steel town and took away his car and mobile handset.
In the FIR registered with the Argora police station, the driver said the abductors had told him that he was being kidnapped as they had asked for an extortion of Rs one crore from Kislay, which he had not given.
Kislay, however, told the police that nobody had demanded money from him.
