Investigation Reveals Job‑Money Pressure Fueled False Kidnapping Claim

The police investigation uncovered that the alleged kidnapping was a desperate attempt by Satyaratna Dixit to deflect mounting pressure from victims who had paid him for employment. After failing to secure positions for them, he faced repeated demands for refunds. On October 5, he called emergency services, falsely reporting that two Scorpio vehicles were chasing him, and then fled to Ahmedabad by train, hoping the hoax would buy him time.
