MUMBAI: A two-day police search for a 28-year-old Pune woman who allegedly went missing from Mumbai where she had brought her three-year-old daughter to audition for an advertisement revealed that she had, in fact, hatched the kidnap plan with her ‘lover’, an event manager from Nalasopara.Her Nigerian husband, a gym instructor , had filed a police complaint after he received a Rs 1 crore ransom call.Officials of the property cell of Mumbai crime branch arrested Arjun Ranawat from his flat at Oswal Nagar on Monday. “We have rescued the woman and child and arrested the accused. He said he demanded money to clear his debts,” said a cop. Pune police will now probe her role, said deputy commissioner of police Dilip Sawant.“On December 16, the complainant approached Chandan Nagar police and said he had received an anonymous call demanding Rs 1 crore ransom to free his wife and daughter,” said a cop. The complainant told police his wife’s phone was switched off. Chandan Nagar police then sought help from Mumbai joint commissioner of police (crime) Sanjay Saxena.In his statement to police, the complainant said a few days ago, he and his wife had met Ranawat, who told them that their daughter could feature in advertisements and suggested they bring her to Mumbai for an audition.The property cell team, led by inspector Vinayak Mer and assistant inspectors Deep Bane and Laxmikant Salunkhe, sought the call detail records of the wife’s phone and were surprised to find that she had exchanged several calls with Ranawat. They tracked the location of Ranawat’s cellphone to Nalasopara and nabbed him.The Nigerian complainant, who had settled in Pune 10 years ago, had a love marriage.Chandan Nagar police, however, have found some discrepancies in the husband’s claim and that made by the woman’s father, who lives in Goa. Senior inspector Rajendra Mulik said, “The woman’s father told police that his daughter had left her husband four months ago as he used to physically and mentally harass her. He said she was living with her friend in Mumbai and was employed in a private firm. The husband, perhaps, wanted to use the police machinery to track her down. We will verify the facts once we speak to the woman.”
