A student of a Gurugram-based private university was allegedly kidnapped by a group of youths, who demanded Rs 10 lakh as extortion from him.

The youths allegedly brutally thrashed the student and also made a video. An FIR in the case was registered at the Civil Line police station, the police said on Thursday.

In the complaint, the student alleged that on May 31, he was returning from the gym in his car when he was stopped by five persons who got into his car. He said he knew two of them. He alleged he was beaten brutally beaten by repeatedly. An FIR has been registered against the accused for under Sections 147 (rioting), 148 (unlawful assembly), 323 (causing hurt), 365 (kidnap), 384 (extortion) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
