The investigation began after Chaubey’s son filed a complaint, reporting his father’s kidnapping and receiving a ransom call.
According to the police, Rs 1 lakh of the amount demanded had already been paid.
Multiple police teams were deployed to track down the man, with a constable posing as Chaubey's son to deliver the ransom.
One of the suspects led the officer to the location where Chaubey was being held.
Several police teams then swiftly moved in and rescued Chaubey and arrested the three suspects—Kiran (35), Akhilesh Ahirwar (30), and Satish Singh Bundela (27).
