They hit the teacher with a dagger and took away his credit card. When they came to know that Sahu did not have enough cash in his account, the kidnappers beat him up again.

As he stopped the car near Telkoi’s Nuadiha area to replace the tyre, the people whose vehicles were hit by the kidnapper arrived there.

They along with the locals beat up the kidnappers after they were told by Sahu about his kidnap. Meanwhile, one of the kidnappers escape from the place.
