The Mumbai police crime branch Friday arrested two persons including gangster Ilyas Bachkana for allegedly kidnapping a builder and demanding ransom.

The Anti Extortion Cell of the crime branch rescued the south Mumbai-based builder from a near Mankhurd dumping ground on Friday evening where he was allegedly tied up and beaten.

He was admitted to the hospital after being rescued. Bachkana, who has over 30 cases against him, had come out on bail last week.

A police officer said that the incident took place Thursday night when the builder Hifzur Ansari was in Byculla.

Around 9.30 pm, a person approached him saying that person in a red car parked nearby wanted to talk to him. When Ansari went to the car, the person asked him to sit inside. Later the person overpowered him and fled from the spot.

Later the person with whom Ansari was talking approached his son and told him about what transpired. Around 1.30am, they received a call from a person who identified himself as Ilias Bachkana and demanded Rs 10 crore ransom if Ansari was to be kept safe.

The family then approached the Byculla police where an FIR was registered.
