‘Kidnappers’ remanded in custody till Jan 22

DNAIndia says :

Nakul Kanu, who was allegedly kidnapped by his four friends, including Gaurav Shetty, 23-year-old son of K R Shetty — the owner of Peninsula Hotel in Sion — has reportedly told the police that he is innocent.

Shetty along with his friends Gaurav Solanki, Sushant and Jassi allegedly kidnapped Kanu on Sunday because they were furious over him posting lewd comments about his girlfriend and mother on the popular social networking website, Orkut. These claims have been refuted by Kanu, said police officials.

The four, who were arrested on Monday, were remanded in judicial custody till January 22 by the Kurla court on Tuesday. They were subsequently granted bail for a sum of Rs15, 000 each.

The Sion police now plan to approach Orkut and the cyber cell of the Mumbai police to establish the source of the messages that were posted on the site.
