According to Dahal, Dambar Khanal was found in a house at J P Nagar, Bangalore, with his hands and legs tied. He was allegedly tortured by his captors who had fled the place before the police reached the house. Police said Khanal has problems speaking and relating to what happened to him.
Khanal, who had been working for the past few years in Singapore, fell in the hands of his captors on November 11, 2010 while returning home. He was drugged and abducted by people with whom he got acquainted in Singapore. The abductors contacted Khanal´s family members about two months after the abduction and demanded ransom.
Superintendent of Police Ravi Raj Shrestha said the abductors knew he was returning after earning a good sum of money. “They took away an ATM card and its password,” Shrestha said. He had a sum of Rs 2.2 million deposited in his account.
