Palghar (Maharashtra) [India], February 6 (ANI): A Navy official succumbed to injuries on Saturday after being set on fire by unidentified persons in Maharashtra's Palghar, the police said.
He was burnt alive following non-payment of ransom demands of the kidnappers.
Palghar SP Dattatray Shinde said that the Navy official has been identified as Suraj Kumar Dubey, 27, a resident of Ranchi, Jharkhand.
"Dubey was kidnapped from near the Chennai airport and taken to the jungles of Vevaji in Palghar. The kidnappers had demanded a ransom of Rs 10 lakh to release him, but the demand was not fulfilled by the kin of the Navy official. Enraged at this, the kidnappers set the man on fire and left him to die in the jungle," Shinde said.
