During inquiry by the Mangadu police, he reportedly said it was his estranged wife who took him on a car from Pudupet to Tirumazhisai, where he was kidnapped and taken to Vellore on another car by two men. There, he was beaten up before being dropped near Vandalur.
When contacted, officials said the investigation was not yet over and added that it might be transferred to Chintadripet police station as the alleged kidnap happened there.
