He was beaten, tortured and humiliated over a 32-hour period
A Bollywood film actor impersonator was lured to a house in Nottingham, savagely beaten, repeatedly bound, gagged, tortured and had a gun held to his head during a terrifying kidnap which saw his father threatened with a £300,000 ransom demand. In sinister calls, the victim’s dad was told his son’s fingers would be cut off and sent to his family if he failed to raise and hand over the vast sum of cash the kidnap gang demanded.
“Gaffer tape was used to virtually embalm him leaving him just enough to breath and he was told if he did not cooperate this would be his last day on earth. That he was not left with life-altering or fatal injuries is only down to chance. Miss Knight said for the hours the terrified victim was being held at the Top Valley address he had his head, feet and face bound with tape and was not allowed to use the toilet meaning he wet and soiled himself. She said: “All of this period was gruelling and degrading. At one point he felt a liquid being poured over his face which , by the smell, he thought was petrol and this compounded his terror. He genuinely felt he was about to die.
In his victim impact statement, the man, whose identity is protected by law, said: “The whole incident has completely shattered me and I struggle to come to terms with it every single day. I was totally humiliated and I thought I was going to die.”
