Kamareddy police foiled an interstate kidnap conspiracy and arrested six persons who allegedly planned to abduct a businessman using an illegal firearm. The accused reportedly targeted businessman Bhusa Srinivas to extort money and evade old financial liabilities. Acting on a tip-off, Tadwai police raided the outskirts of Krishajiwadi village and detained the suspects while they were allegedly preparing for the crime.

Police said the gang procured an illegal weapon from contacts in Maharashtra for Rs.30,000. During the operation, officers seized a firearm, rubber bullets, pellet boxes, mobile phones, masks, nylon rope, tape, cash and a motorcycle.

District SP M. Rajesh Chandra said the accused intended to kidnap the businessman and demand ransom from his family. A case has been registered under BNS and Arms Act sections. Six accused were remanded, while another suspect from Maharashtra remains absconding.
